There just isn't time. It's baked in, which is why in every poll there are like 75% or more of the respondents saying that he's too old. And Biden's numerous public appearances this weekend didn't help matters - he looks tired and old, and it's not like he's going to get younger. If Democrats actually want to win this election, and they should, they either have to replace Biden with a better candidate, go back to attacking Trump relentlessly and hope that you can essentially disqualify him with voters, or both.

Read the new Marist poll. 32% of voters think age is disqualifying but 68% of voters think lying is.

Even if 75% of voters really believe he’s too old (obviously, given Marist, opinions vary) that’s no indication that they won’t vote for him. I think they’d vote for his corpse.

I *hope* they'll vote for him. I'll vote for him even if he tries futilely to impersonate a vigorous, healthy candidate. I just think it'll be a shame if thanks to his stubbornness that's the only option.

There's apparently time to wait for him to reconsider. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Tick tock.
