Trump is 74 years old and the oldest person ever to have been elected U.S. president. Biden is 77 years old.
Trump's attacks on Biden as low energy and confused are meant to suggest that he lacks the ability to lead the country. Simultaneously, Trump has tried to cast Biden as a weakling, incapable of withstanding the"radical left" who would allegedly seek to control his presidency. However, the country's radical left considers Biden a corporate moderate with center-right policies and as an obstacle to radical change.
Conversely, Trump tries to convey himself as a strongman who is the only one with the capability to"Make America great again." But while Trump is mocking Biden as a senior citizen, recent polls suggest that actual American senior citizens may prefer Biden over the slightly younger Trump.Chip Somodevilla/Getty-NBC News poll from last week showed that voters age 65 and above prefer Biden over Trump by 27 points. A CNN poll, also from last week, shows Biden leading by 21 points among the same age group.
Yesterday, Biden spoke to older voters in Pembroke Pines, a suburb of Miami, Florida, laying out his plan for elderly Americans. "You deserve respect and peace of mind, but you're not getting it because to Donald Trump, you're expendable," Biden said, according to."You're forgettable. You're virtually nobody. That's how he sees seniors. That's how he sees you."
