President Joe Biden's age (79.6 years) is roughly double his job approval rating (39.9 percent). He'll turn 80 after the midterm elections, which are shaping up to be an unrelenting disaster for Democrats. It's no wonder that so many journalists and other members of Biden's party are increasingly reluctant to endorse him for reelection in 2024.
The following is a collection of statements from Democrats and liberal pundits acknowledging what most Americans already know: Biden is too old for the job he spent his entire life trying to attain. Enjoy!
"Let me put this bluntly: Joe Biden should not run for reelection in 2024. He is too old."
— Mark Leibovich (The Atlantic)
"Democrats need fresh, bold leadership for the 2024 presidential race. … That can’t be Biden."
— Shelia Huggins, Democratic National Committee member from North Carolina (New York Times)
