I agree with you, I'm guessing it's pushback against those who criticized Biden's age, but it's likely to backfire Rhiannon12866 Aug 1 #3

But I wish Joy Reid and others would stop calling trump “the senior citizen” in an obviously pejorative way. It’s demeaning to older adults and it’s alienating.

There were certain MSNBC hosts who made it clear that they were still with Biden despite the calls from Democrats for him to step aside IRRC Joy Reid was one of them - so she's now making it a point to mention TFG's age. It's not his age that's the problem, both Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders are older, it's that TFG is a convicted felon, a rapist and a bigot who thinks Hannibal Lecter is his friend.
