ALL 36 of the other Presidents have been 60 or YOUNGER. (9 Presidents have been in their 40's including Teddy Roosevelt, Obama, Clinton, Kennedy. Only 4 have been over 65 - and should we even count the one who only lasted 31 days?)

Regan ended his presidency at 77 and there were concerns that he was experiencing cognitive decline during his second term. He was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's 5 years after at 82.

Biden will be 82 if elected and need to make it to 86 to finish his term. It is like the tale of the Emperor who has no clothes - who is going to tell Biden forcefully he is far too old to run? I will not vote for Biden this time even though I voted for him 4 years ago. What is the Democratic Party thinking? There needs to be a meeting so that a viable candidate can be put forward. I am voting for a person for President not a puppet. Who is the Puppet Master? I might have my guesses but I really don't know.

Trump will be 80. He is too old as well.

There really needs to be an upper limit for the Presidency.

Biden is only running because Trump is. Trump is only running to try and escape the law.

Republicans are still voting Republican because he idea of a fascist dictatorship excites you; the idea of Trump getting away with it all gives you so much pleasure you can hardly stand it.

Biden is running because he is a stubborn old man who doesn't know better. And, Jill continues to encourage him.
Trump is running because during his first term, things were so much better. We need to undo all of horrendous policies of Biden.

hahaha

oh wait are you serious bro?

Not sure if he is fit for the job and NO I dont think trump will be any better if he wins due to his age and how quickly you start going down. As a dem, I might as well vote for Haily because she is the most fit to be president. Its amazing that our party is allowing biden to continue.

As “a dem” you’d vote for the woman who would pardon Trump, would sign any forced birther legislation she gets and will enact all of Project 2025’s anti-American policy? I don’t think you’re “a dem.”

It's a shame we can't rely on the common sense of voters and political party leaders to weed out candidates that clearly aren't our best options for president. Obviously, we can't rely on common sense prevailing in this regard so additional eligibility requirements such as a maximum age for which someone can seek a 1st and 2nd presidential term would be helpful in making sure we don't have a repeat of this 2024 election debacle in the future. 72 as the max age for someone seeking a 1st term and 76 for someone seeking a 2nd term would be a fair and reasonable starting point. Too bad this can't be implemented immediately.

Get rid of them both and the group of enablers that surround them. Toxic, horrible people that represent a very, very narrow subset of the American people.

Here's the difference between random old people like your dad (mine too, for that matter) and Biden. To begin with, most of them have been retired for years by the time they reach Biden's age and are not engaging in regular exercise, adhering to a rigorous daily schedule, or engaging in high-level thinking on a daily basis. Biden has never retired. While he has no doubt slowed down like anyone over 70, he has been in politics for 52 years. He has half a century's worth of knowledge to draw from on a daily basis, including 8 years as VP and 3 years as president--more executive experience than any presidential candidate in history. He personally knows most past and present world leaders. He has selected experienced, capable people, many with decades of government service, to implement his policies--not just randos who have impressed him by praising him on TV. He is nothing like your father or mine. And he is infinitely more experienced and knowledgeable on how to run a country than Trump.

IDK about this, when the candidate can not even hold a press conference because he cant keep up, there is a problem. I really wonder if they will skip all debates because I cant imagine him on the stage with anyone else, trump or whoever, and be able to hold up.

Biden is old. So is Trump, and so was Reagan. I’ll vote for Biden any day over those GOP dementia cases.

I’d like to hear more about Trump’s diaper wearing and midnight raging. That’s usually a better sign of imminent demise than age.

Holding press conferences and running a country are two different things.

He's doing it to make money. He's on track to make $4b.* He owes more than $400m to appeal his cases.

He made over $1.6b during his first term.**

I'm sure both Trump and Biden could make it through a 60 minute debate but oh what a long, embarrassing, and disturbing hour it would be for the American people as we watch our "best" two options for president make fools of themselves.

Yes, he's old. And, donors are noticing......

President Biden has been using notecards in closed-door fundraisers, calling on prescreened donors and then consulting his notes to provide detailed answers, according to people familiar with the routine.

Why it matters: Biden's reliance on notecards to help explain his own policy positions — on questions he knows are coming — is raising concerns among some donors about Biden's age.


......How does he know which questions are coming?????

Trump has done sit down interviews. Biden's handlers know he isn't capable, so he refuses

Well only one will be able to say he will fight for the reproductive rights of American women and men. Only one was not responsible for overturning roe and all the abortion bans and cancelled fertility treatments and driving on guns out of state and the rest of it.

Trump will probably flat out lie and say he has nothing to do with roe but people know he did it and won't vote for him or his women hating policies.

We need leaders live and together more often, working on solving problems. No staff, no scripts, no screened questions, just work. Not all the time, not a full Parliamentary system but MORE public discussion and engagement. Old folks would not apply.
