Joe Biden took aim at Donald Trump’s age and legal woes during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner at the weekend, an event ultimately overshadowed by Israel’s war in Gaza.

“The 2024 election’s in full swing and yes, age is an issue,” Mr Biden said. “I’m a grown man running against a six-year-old.”
