Back in November, Brazile was on “Real Time” with Bill Maher where Bill brought up political consultant and former Obama adviser David Axelrod’s comments that Biden should “get out or get going” to the table. Brazile admitted, “Look, people think that Joe Biden is perhaps too old. They’re right.” She went on to explain, “Everyone ages differently” and pointed to Betty White and Mick Jagger.
Biden turned 81-years-old on November 20th. On the same day, Trump released a doctor’s note saying that he was in “excellent” health.
Maher told Brazile that age was a case-by-case thing and said, “But for that argument to have teeth at all, you also have to be the person who can go, ‘Yeah, but this is the case’…And I’ve said it before. Do I think Joe Biden can do the job? Absolutely. I don’t think he can win the job. And that’s what I care about. He’s going to lose. Because the people think he’s too old. And perception is reality. I’m sorry.”
Unfortunately for Biden, young voters don’t appear to be in the tank for the old man anymore on a number of issues. Antisemitism is turning them against the president but so is his age and the disconnect with them. NBC News has reported about this and quoted a 23-year-old voter (Starbucks employee and union organizer) saying, “I genuinely could not live with myself if I voted for someone who’s made the decisions that Biden has. I didn’t even feel great about” voting for Biden in 2020.”
BIden’s handlers and friends in the media think the answer is for Biden to be out in the public MORE and not less, which is pretty laughable. I think they forgot his winning strategy the last time that he ran against Trump: keeping him in the basement and out of the public eye.
The Democrats also say that everyone needs to know what’s at stake in 2024 i.e. they are telling everyone that Trump is Hitler, that he is authoritarian and will destroy the country – all of which actually describes the CURRENT president.
Even though voters and opponents are telling Biden he’s too old to run again, Biden apparently doesn’t think so. According to Axios, current and former aides say Biden is extraordinarily energetic for his age (LOL) but they also say that he tells them that he feels “young” and that makes them do eye rolls as they see how he comes across to Americans.
How Biden comes across to Americans is otherwise known as REALITY: listening to what he says, watching what he does… seeing him not knowing how to walk off a stage without help. That’s why he rarely has much scheduled every day – and it’s why he’s able to be on vacation all of the time. Because he’s NOT THE REAL PRESIDENT. And maybe that’s why some of the Democrats don’t care how old he is. Keeping that in mind, he could be 104-years-old and they wouldn’t care.
But he still has to win the job and that’s where they are worried.
It’ll be interesting to see how his aides handle an actual presidential campaign for an elderly 81-year- old. VERY interesting.
