.总统乔·拜登在纽约州竞选时，他在洛克菲勒广场30号停下来，参加了全国广播公司的“塞斯·梅耶斯深夜秀”
周一晚些时候，奥巴马与这位漫画家坐下来讨论了他的年龄以及他与前总统相比的2024年议程等问题唐纳德·特朗普共和党提名的领跑者。
“一些文件最近泄露了，一些机密文件-这不是一个gotcha show，但我确实想问它-这表明你目前81岁，”迈耶斯开始说。
“到底是谁告诉你的?”拜登开玩笑说。“那是机密。”
随后，迈耶斯转向了一个更严肃的问题，强调民调显示，在拜登竞选第二个任期时，选民对他的年龄感到担忧，并询问拜登计划如何在竞选中解决这一问题。
“第一，你得看看另一个人，他和我差不多大，”拜登说，抨击77岁的特朗普。
“第二，这是关于你的想法有多古老，”拜登继续说道。“听着，我是说，这家伙想带我们回去。他想把我们带回罗伊诉韦德案。他想让我们回到一系列问题上来，50、60年来，这些问题一直是美国坚定的立场。”
拜登说:“我认为这关乎未来。“我们做的每一件事，每一件事，我认为我们已经做了一些好事……他们告诉我们我们不能完成它们，因为事情是如此分裂。”
在接受采访之际，拜登(他基本上避开了传统的新闻发布会或新闻采访)试图通过增加露面来缓解选民的担忧和共和党人对他年龄和耐力的批评。地点的选择也是为了一个重要的人群:年轻选民。
在另一个轻松的时刻，拜登开玩笑说关于的阴谋论泰勒·斯威夫特从超级碗到2024年大选，民主党人无所不用其极。
“你从哪里得到这些信息的?”当迈耶斯提到这个话题时，拜登打趣道。“这是机密。”

Biden addresses his age, Taylor Swift conspiracies and more on Seth Meyers' late-night show
PresidentJoe Biden, while campaigning in New York, stopped by 30 Rockefeller Plaza to appear on NBC's "Late Night With Seth Meyers."
The president's sit-down with the comic late Monday included questions about his age and his 2024 agenda versus that of former PresidentDonald Trump, the Republican front-runner for the nomination.
"Some documents recently leaked, some classified documents -- and this isn't a gotcha show but I do want to ask about it -- that says you are currently 81 years old," Meyers began.
"Who the hell told you that?" Biden joked. "That's classified."
Meyers then turned to a more serious note, highlighting the fact that polls show voters are concerned about Biden's age as he runs for a second term and asking how Biden plans to address that on the campaign trail.
"No. 1, you got to take a look at the other guy, he's about as old as I am," Biden said, swiping at Trump, who is 77.
"No. 2, it's about how old your ideas are," Biden continued. "Look, I mean, this is a guy who wants to take us back. He wants to take us back on Roe v. Wade. He wants to take us back on a whole range of issues that for 50, 60 years they've been solid American positions."
"I think it's about the future," Biden said. "And everything, every single thing we've done, and I think we've got some good things done … they told us we couldn't get them done, because things were so divided."
The interview comes as Biden (who has largely eschewed traditional press conferences or press interviews) seeks to tamp down voter worries and Republican criticisms about his age and stamina by ramping up his appearances. The choice of venue was also curated for an important demographic: younger voters.
In another moment of levity, Biden joked aboutconspiracy theories aboutTaylor Swiftscheming with Democrats when it comes to everything from the Super Bowl to the 2024 election.
"Where are you getting this information?" Biden quipped when Meyers broached the subject. "It's classified."
Meyers also questioned Biden onRepublicans holding up aid to Ukraine,Trump's "dictator" remarksand theIsrael-Hamas conflict.
Biden, facing criticism by some Arab and Muslim communitiesin Michiganand elsewhere for his position on theIsrael-Hamas war, said he believed there is a path forward -- albeit a "difficult" one -- on a cease-fire and hostage release.
"Ramadan is coming up and there's been an agreement by the Israelis that they would not engage in activities during Ramadan as well, in order to give us time to get all the hostages out," he said.
Earlier in the day, at an ice cream shop with Meyers, Biden said his hope is that there will be a cease-fire reached by next Monday -- comments that asenior Israeli source told ABC Newscaught Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by surprise.
On his late-night appearance, Biden said without Israel, no Jewish person would be safe -- but also warned of diminished support for the country if it continues its current tactics in Gaza.
"Israel has had the overwhelming support of the vast majority of nations. If it keeps this up without this incredibly conservative government they have ... they're going to lose support from around the world," he said. "And that is not in Israel's interest."
