biden is handling the issues in his first term. people don t want joe biden and want somebody younger to be president in 2024. it is not that older people cannot work, you should work as long as you want. the most important job in the world, rigorous job as president, not a job for an 86-year-old, which is what joe biden would be at the end of a hypothetical second term. that is an issue for somebody that hasn t shown signs of aging. joe biden says nonsensical things, shakes hands with ghosts and needs to spend every weekend at the beach. he will not be fit in four years. ashley: fabrications or lies he tells all the time, we can t tell if it is fact or fkz. when you talk about the age, you are correct, people in their 80s have an active mind. it is not about the age that other than cans me, it is how long you have been this politics and corrupted by politics of being a politician. when you check the boxes, when they say voters, their ideal candidate is no older than 65, ha
