Issues About Biden Nothing New

Questions on Biden’s age in 2024 are usually not new. Former White Home Adviser David Gergen was blunt concerning the getting older course of and voiced issues about Biden being nicely into his 80’s by the 2024 election.

Gergen wasn’t the one one with age issues. In June, former Obama adviser David Axelrod additionally sounded the alarm about nominating somebody as previous as Biden, saying, “The presidency is a monstrously taxing job and the stark actuality is the President could be nearer to 90 than 80 on the finish of a second time period, and that might be a significant concern.”

An October Harvard/CAPS Harris ballot confirmed that in a 2024 rematch between Biden and Donald Trump, Trump comes out on prime 45% to 43%. 

Joe Biden and his administration may wish to get pleasure from their post-midterm glow whereas they will. It may not final lengthy.

Biden mentioned he intends to run for president in 2024. He mumbles and may’t make full cognitive sentences. Think about 2 years.
