Castro implies Biden is too old to beat Trump. Is that the best way to beat Biden?
Welcome to 2020 Vision, the Yahoo News column covering the presidential race with one smart, fast takeaway every weekday and a deeper roundup every weekend. Reminder: There are 143 days until the Iowa caucuses and 417 days until the 2020 election.
Biden continued to defend his health care proposal, arguing that if Castro’s grandmother “qualifies for Medicaid, she would automatically be enrolled” in Biden’s version of a “public option.” They’re probably right. It’s unlikely Castro will climb in the polls from his current perch at 1 percent just because he called Biden old, and it’s unlikely Biden will plummet from his league-leading position at 27 percent.
One way to counter Biden’s advantage on electability, then, is to attempt to convince voters that he’s no longer sharp enough to compete with Trump.
