Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) defended President Joe Biden‘s decision to run for reelection as the oldest sitting president.

Klobuchar appeared on Meet the Press on Sunday, where host Kirsten Welker asked the senator whether she thought the president should pass the torch to another Democratic candidate. Welker was referring to Biden’s campaign promises ahead of the 2020 election, when he promised to be a “bridge” for the Democratic Party.

“Again, I’m a believer in President Biden cause I believe he’s a good moral person that has the backs of the people of this country,” Klobuchar said. “Time and time again people have sided with that over elections deniers and the like. So I am proud to be supporting Joe Biden for president.”

Klobuchar admitted “the challenges are real,” but blamed Congress for not passing legislation that is favorable to United States voters. The Minnesota senator pointed to the recent aid package that the Senate passed as an example of doing more than simply to “talk the talk.”

Klobuchar was Biden’s Democratic opponent ahead of the 2020 election. Biden is now the oldest sitting president at 81. If he wins, he will be 86 at the end of his second term. So far, Biden has swept every Democratic primary of the 2024 election cycle.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is fracturing in part as a result of Biden’s reelection campaign. The incumbent president has Democratic challengers in Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) and YouTube news anchor Cenk Uygur, though Biden most recently won Nevada with 89.4%.

Democrat Marianne Williamson, an author, suspended her campaign on Wednesday, Feb. 7, after losing to both Biden and the “none of these candidates” option.
