Ronald Reagan told jokes about his age - joking about whether he was old enough to be present at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and joking that he would not, for political purposes, talk about Walter Mondale's comparative "youth abd inexperience." Joe Biden claimed that his buddy, "Jimmy Madison," had helped pen the Constitution. That works for older people. If I understand her age, Kamala Harris, if elected, would be the youngest president we've ever elected. I'm unable to think of a single self-deprecating joke she could tell that she, or any young candidate or president, could use to make light of their relative youth and inexperience.
Got one you could share?

You do not understand her age. Kamala Harris is 59.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_age

There are 9 Presidents who were under 50 when first elected. Obama was 47 when first elected president.

If I'm counting correctly from the list I linked above, If elected, Harris would be the 35th youngest president out of 47 (Harris would be the 47th president).

umm.. might want to check your facts a bit there... 34 of our past 46 presidents were younger at the start of their presidencies than Kamala currently is. She is 59 years old right now and will turn 60 this month before the election.

Other people have pointed out that this is factually inaccurate, but I'm more interested in the questions "how old did you think Kamala Harris is that she would be the youngest president elected, and why did you think that she was that particular age" because it seems like information about this is not hard to find and I'm really curious how you ended up in the wilderness on it.
