The Quinnipiac University poll showed that 49 percent of registered voters support Biden and 45 percent support Trump, but 67 percent said the 81-year-old president is too old to serve another term.

It’s definitely an issue that’s not going away. The DNC really needs to figure it out and stop pretending that it doesn’t matter to voters.

    I’m 43 and I’m not sure you’d want me on a fire hose either.

    I’ve helped care for multiple older adults though between mine and my wives families. and there’s a lot of variability in that age group. My wife’s dad just passed away at 64, his dad passed away last year at 95 and was super fit and clear minded until cancer started to beat his ass in 2020 and his mom is 87 and and walks miles each day and is incredibly fit and active and mentally sharp.

    At that age, it’s quite possible for some older adults to still be incredibly capable of some strenuous activity, but those aren’t the ones eating hamberders and diet coke every meal.
