Voters have real concerns about Biden’s age, endurance, and competence. “But American politics is never about finding the perfect President,” sbg1 writes. “It’s about choice.”
, which has gone up sixteen points since Biden started campaigning four years ago, suggests that it’s not merely reflexive partisanship or the country’s dyspeptic post-pandemic mood that is responsible for Biden’s persistently low approval ratings.
No doubt, those factors have contributed, too. But Republicans have kept up a near-daily barrage of attacks on “Sleepy Joe,” and their narrative, true or not, has been aided by the President’s visible aging. Anyone hypervigilant for signs that Biden is getting too old can find ample evidence in every quaver of his voice, every slowed step across a stage. This winter, after Biden stumbled twice in two weeks on the stairs of Air Force One, a slew of news stories followed.
A flubbed interview on Monday at the White House Easter Egg Roll—in which Biden told the NBC “Today” show’s Al Roker that, after the 2024 election, he’ll “either be rolling an egg or end up being the guy who’s pushing ’em out”—led to an entire riff by the late-night comedian Stephen Colbert, no Biden-hater, joking about whether the President was “mentally fit” to run again.
