It's not the first time Biden has used self-deprecating humor to joke about his age.
Earlier this year at King’s Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta to mark Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, he quipped: “You’ve been around for 136 years. I know I look like it, but I haven’t."
According to the White House pool reporter, Biden ended his speech with "God save the Queen, man."
Principal Deputy White House Press Secretary later explained that Biden was "commenting to someone in the crowd" when he referred to the queen.
At 80, Biden, the oldest president in U.S. history, will embark on his reelection campaign next year.
Donald Trump is 77.
