Democrats shouldn’t choose Biden as their vice president, according to The New York Times
The Last Days of the First Trump White House: The Birth of the Oldest U.S. President, Donald J.Biden, and Nancy Pelosi
Not much has changed about the substance of their conversation since then, other than three long years: Mr. Biden, at 80, is the oldest U.S. president ever. If and when he announces a re-election campaign, he will put into play the idea of an even older president, eventually 86 years old. “Is age a positive thing for him? No,” Nancy Pelosi recently told Maureen Dowd, before adding that age is “a relative thing.” For reasons ultimately only Mr. Biden can know, it seems he feels he has to do it.
Critics have said that the president’s age was a factor in his second run. Biden would be 82 by the 2024 inauguration and 86 by the end of a potential second term. The first lady thinks that he still has enough energy for two more presidential campaigns and another four years in office.
You could view the last days of the first Trump White House through this way if Donald Trump wins a second term. Insider found that nearly 25% of Congress was over 70 last year, up from 8% in 2002. Senator Charles Grassley, a Republican and Iowa’s senior senator, won re-election at age 89 last fall. Mitch McConnell and Ms. Pelosi, both in their 80’s, are the most powerful and defining congressional leaders of our lives. The Treasury secretary is 76. The ideological balance of the court changed in the past 10 years due to the death of two Supreme Court justices.
Jill Biden: What he does every day to make sure he’s running for reelection, and what she doesn’t want to do
In a lengthy interview with CNN, Biden said she was all for her husband running for reelection. The first lady left something for her husband to decide if he wants to run.
The president joked in an interview with ABC News last week that he had to call his wife “to find out” whether he was running in 2024. He said that his intention has always been to run. We have too many other things to finish before I start a campaign.
Jill Biden told CNN that the president’s surprise trip to Ukraine last week and domestic issues have kept him busy in recent days, adding that “nothing’s been planned as yet.”
How many 30-year-old people could go to Poland and take the train? It’s 9 more hours and you have to meet with President Zelensky. she said. “So, look at the man. Look what he’s doing. He is doing what he does each and every day.

What does the wife of the former vice president say about mental competency tests? The first lady of the US ambassador to the United Nations, David Biden, tells CNN, “Mental competence is not necessary”
The wife of the former vice president wouldn’t confirm if a decision has been made on a run or when it would be announced.
Democrats should show more respect for the record of President Biden and trust the good judgment of the American people. His recent performance at the State of the Union and his trip to Poland andUkraine should convince voters that he is up to the task, at least at this moment. This month his doctor reported that Mr. Biden is “healthy,” “vigorous” and “fit” to carry out the duties of president.
First lady Biden dismissed the proposal by Haley for politicians over age 75 to take a mental competency test because she didn’t believe it was necessary.
During an interview with CNN, the first lady was asked about Haley’s proposal, and she said it was ridiculous.
Haley, a former US ambassador to the United Nations and twice-elected South Carolina governor, first put forth the proposal when she announced her presidential candidacy last month. the proposal was calledabsurd, and ageist by Sen. sanders.
We are fighting racism. We’re fighting sexism. We’re fighting homophobia. We ought to be fighting ageism as well. Trust people and look at them and say that a person is competent. The person is incompetent. In an interview with CBS News, the 44-year-old said there were a lot of 40-year-olds who were not particularly competent.
