As Joe Biden approaches 80, he openly acknowledges concerns about his age and health, stating, “I could get a disease, I could drop dead tomorrow.” Nevertheless, he plans to run for a second term in 2024, potentially making him 86 at its end.
Critics argue that age serves as a convenient target for those with different objections to Biden, while supporters highlight his active engagement with the public, often spending extensive time interacting with crowds. Behind the scenes, concerns about Biden’s age are growing. Staffers express reservations about his energy levels and the feasibility of scheduling long international trips.
