Joe Biden Is Too Old

Joe Biden’s age, remarkably, hasn’t been much of an issue in the campaign. With three weeks left before the November election, maybe it should be.

For the past four years, Democrats have talked about Donald Trump’s mental competence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is still talking about using the 25th Amendment to remove him from office with an election just weeks away. 

Yet Biden’s age and the political risk associated with it is the subject everyone knows about but no one wants to discuss publicly. As we’ve been told a lot this year: we need to listen to the science. And the science around aging is real and well-documented. Let’s start with this: the median life expectancy for a white male in America is 78.6. Joe Biden will turn 78 just after the election and will hit the 78.6 mark next May. 

What’s interesting is that just last summer, as the Democratic nomination fight simmered, talk of Biden’s age and cognitive fitness now considered out of bounds remained a percolating theme among those now pushing for his election to the White House. 

Democrats and their allies in the media are well aware of the problem. 

A Politico feature in May 2019 said questions regarding Biden’s age gathered in both “overt and indirect ways.”

“Questions about the former vice president’s age and vigor are increasingly surfacing within his own party, fueled by the former vice president’s relatively light campaign schedule and attempts to limit his public exposure,” it read.
