He looks pretty good for 220 years old.
Joe Biden said on live television Saturday that he started his Senate career “180 years ago.”
The Democratic presidential contender and former vice president made the odd statement during a live address to the US Conference of Mayors that was being broadcast in real time on C-SPAN.
Biden began by praising mayors for taking care of Americans’ practical day-to-day needs, and for being on the front lines during fires, floods, health emergencies and school shootings.
“That’s why I’ve made it a priority my entire career to work closely with you,” he said with a smile, “from the time I got to the Senate 180 years ago,” he added, giving a short chuckle.
“You know?” he added. “As well as my tenure as vice president.”
Biden served as a Democratic senator from Delaware from 1973 to 2009 — for a total of 37 years.
