Jane Sanders, the wife of Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, on Wednesday said voters have no reason to be concerned about the Vermont senator's age and health.
During an interview with HuffPost Live, she was pressed about her husband potentially being the oldest president ever elected, as he will be 75 next year.
"Well, 75 is the new 55," Jane Sanders said with a laugh.
The oldest president ever elected was Ronald Reagan, who was 69 when sworn into office.
She said her husband is very energetic despite his age.
"Well seriously, he puts everybody to shame in terms of his endurance," she said. "He is going everyday, you know, 15, 16, 20 hours a day, depending on the day. The rest of us take a day off every now and then, Bernie doesn't."
"I think it might have to do with him being a runner when he was a kid," she added. "He's as healthy as they come."
"I think he's been sick three days since I've known him in 35 years."

Speaking of endurance, I wonder if he gave her the "Viagra Special" during their victory celebration last night....
