The matter of President Biden's age is something he will 'have to deal with' on the campaign trail, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, said on 'The Takeout' this week.
"Well, I think we'd certainly — I think everybody would certainly like a younger Joe Biden," Whitehouse said."I think the people are concerned about an 80-year-old president. And I think that's an issue that President Biden is going to have to deal with on the campaign ... can't go away."
"I think it probably is fairly serious, which doesn't mean that he doesn't emerge from it, you know, without charges at the end of the day, but it's not a frivolous thing," Whitehouse, a former U.S. attorney, said of the federal investigation into Hunter Biden. "I don't," Whitehouse said."I think Joe Biden has established himself in the public mind in a very solid way over many, many, many, many years of service. A family member with an acknowledged drug and drinking problem who went off the rails during episodes of that problem is a very familiar situation for many, many American families.
"Wait for real evidence," Whitehouse said he would tell voters."Eventually, these decisions, particularly if they have any criminal aspect to them, need to be made on the basis of real evidence, not third-party surmise based on a statement from somebody else that may or may not be true, by somebody who may or may not be credible, that's now been reported in a form that has never been subject to scrutiny and is now being used by partisan political figures.
