Biden’s age is “omnipresent” in nearly every conversation, one person involved told CNN, at a time when he’s preparing for a reelection announcement that would try to extend his time in the Oval Office until he is 86 years old.
To many top Democratic operatives and officials looking ahead, Biden’s age is the top issue of his reelection campaign – in essence, what he’s running against, at least until a Republican nominee emerges, according to CNN’s conversations with three dozen White House aides, elected officials, leading Democratic operatives and others beginning to prepare for the race ahead.
Still, voters bring Biden’s age up constantly in focus groups. Many veer toward assuming he must be ineffective or being puppeteered: “‘brain dead,’ ‘mush’ – ‘dementia’ is a word that comes up all the time,” said one person who observed multiple focus group sessions during campaigns last year.
Voters young and old often say they can’t really believe he’s going to run. Mocking him as ancient or asleep has become an easy joke for late night comedians. Many prominent Democrats privately say some panicky version of what Robert Reich, the 76-year-old former secretary of labor, wrote recently: Biden’s age is “deeply worrying, given what we know about the natural decline of the human brain and body.”

There will be plenty of people who will vote for him as he’s the next “Silky Pony” to quote Rush Limbaugh.
I know because I am dating someone who thinks he’s the cat’s meow. CNN said so, of course.
If you said Joe Biden was too old during the 2020 campaign, you'd be pretty hypocritical to claim Trump's age is just fine during the 2024 cycle.
When has hypocrisy ever bothered a Rat?
He looks a very old 82.
He’s in his prime, obviously.
“Good ol’ Joe, the wise elder statesman” will be the media’s narrative.
Are you expecting a VOP victory? A ham sandwich named “Biden” could run against any GOP candidate and the ham sandwich would win in a landslide.
Sonny Hostin of “The View” said her dream team was Gavin Newsom and Stacy Abrams.
