President Biden has said he plans to run for a second term, but his age has become an uncomfortable issue for him and his party.
WASHINGTON — When President Biden leaves Tuesday night for a four-day swing through the Middle East, he will presumably be more rested than he would have been had he followed the original plan.
The trip was initially tacked onto another journey last month to Europe, which would have made for an arduous 10-day overseas trek until it became clear to Mr. Biden’s team that such extended travel might be unnecessarily taxing for a 79-year-old president, or “crazy,” as one official put it.
Aides also cited political and diplomatic reasons to reorganize the extra stops as a separate trip weeks later. But the reality is that managing the schedule of the oldest president in American history presents distinct challenges. And as Mr. Biden insists he plans to run for a second term, his age has increasingly become an uncomfortable issue for him, his team and his party. Just a year and a half into his first term, Mr. Biden is already more than a year older than Ronald Reagan was at the end of two terms. If he mounts another campaign in 2024, Mr. Biden would be asking the country to elect a leader who would be 86 at the end of his tenure, testing the outer boundaries of age and the presidency. Polls show many Americans consider Mr. Biden too old, and some Democratic strategists do not think he should run again.
It is, unsurprisingly, a sensitive topic in the West Wing. In interviews, some sanctioned by the White House and some not, more than a dozen current and former senior officials and advisers uniformly reported that Mr. Biden remained intellectually engaged, asking smart

??? OBJECTIVES:
1. Get rid of a Loser
2. remind voters that Trump is old too.
and it’s a failure
He already passed the test for insanity!!!
Oh yeah... They’re trying to get rid of him alright.
So how well does this go over with voters? It’s not like the left has just figured this out. They put Biden up there because he has no idea what he is doing so he just does as he’s told.
Is the problem now that the whole world sees what’s going on?
So how in the world do Democrats say “Oh, well he suddenly went into mental decline. Here’s a new candidate to vote for”?
This assumes of course there is another election.
Joe is happy as long as someone gives him ice cream and wipes his butt.
...”Questions about Mr. Biden’s fitness have nonetheless taken a toll on his public standing. In a June survey by Harvard’s Center for American Political Studies and the Harris Poll, 64 percent of voters believed he was showing that he is too old to be president, including 60 percent of respondents 65 or older.”

(FUNNY, WE DIDN’T HEAR ABOUT THIS POLL...) /S
Who will be President if he is removed? Kamala? Nobody wants to see that.
Biden won’t finish his first term much less run for a second term.
Poor old bastard.
He’s as dumb as a Qtard.
Xoe is happiest when someone gives him ice cream and brings a little girl to him for hair sniffing...
Either they want to get rid of the albatross dementia sufferer Biden or they want to blacken the names of all old men (Trump) as too old?
Unless they have a clever way to de-Kamala themselves, they will rue to day that idiot affirmative action for life politician becomes president to replace Sleepy Joe.
The Dems and the lamestream media (same thing) don’t want Joe to announce he is not running again until after the November elections. They just want to give his handlers a clear signal that he needs to announce he is not running early next year, so that replacement Dems can start jockeying for position.
The last thing that anyone wants is for Joe to step down and hand the Presidency to Kamala (with Nancy next in line). I would be happy if Joe steps down after the Republicans take control of Congress in January, but only if we can remove Kamala at the same time. As much as Joe’s handlers are screwing up our country, Kamala can always do worse.
The word is now official from the Dems: Biden needs to step down for the good of the party; not that nation, mind you:
the party.
Yep.

He’s failing the test.
