During the dinner, President Joe Biden referenced the upcoming elections, ridiculing former President Donald Trump, “I’m a grown man running against a 6-year-old.”

Colin Jost of “Saturday Night Live” also performed a comedy set at the event, making fun of both candidates’ ages, “I’m not saying both candidates are old, but you know Jimmy Carter is out there thinking, ‘I could maybe win this thing.’”
