“Hi, I’m Joe Biden. I might be in older but I can bench press Donald Trump’s pre-reported weight, go for a morning run, do a couple of rounds self-defense combat with the shepherds, have my Wheaties and still be at my desk by 8am. If you’re still on the fence, I beat Trump’s mental cognition test by taking it more than once! Six months later, I still got it: person, woman, man, camera, TV! Now that we got the important things out of the way, let me tell you where we were as a country when I took office, where we’re at, and where we still need to get to. Let’s not switch out the starter to put in a third string quarterback when we’re at 1st and goal in sudden death overtime! Why choose between age and beauty - I got both! I’m tall, too, and my ties are a normal length!”
Seriously, though, this constant focus on Biden’s age is a self fulfilling prophecy. It didn’t start out with the voters and filter up to the politics, it’s been drummed into them by political actors. The far left and far right are both harping on it for different reasons, none of them good for 2024.
Forgive my wicked humor:
