The biggest problem with “Biden is old” as a headline is that Trump already milked “sleepy Biden” as much as he could in the runup to the 2016 elections.
While Trump is famous for repeating his own faults so often that people become desensitized to it, in this case he did the same thing to Biden. People have spent the last 8 years assuming Biden was really old, out of touch and likely losing his faculties. They voted for him anyway because “how bad could it be compared to the alternative?”
Meanwhile, Biden aged further until it has possibly actually become an issue, but Trump called wolf too many times, so it lost any power in the media.
Just wait until the right discovers Trump actually IS the used car salesman he appears to be too.
These two men should not be allowed to run for office again; there are better qualified candidates for both parties.
You better tell that to like 10% of the Democratic Party including e.g. Nancy Pelosi
Biden is way too old and it’s definitely a problem, but somehow they’ve absorbed not only the fact that it’s a problem but the inaccurate assessment of how much the electorate cares (for the most part, they still remember that Biden could walk out on stage thinking it’s 1945 and talking about onions on the belt and still be better than Trump). And also the “let’s have him withdraw and let’s not bother to put together a coherent plan for what happens afterwards” strategy for what should happen afterwards.
