Biden’s Age a Factor in 2024? Rep. Schiff Weighs In

“Joe Biden should be ‘mopping the floor’ with Donald Trump, but his age is a factor,” says Congressman Adam Schiff.

The 2024 election is shaping up to be a rematch of the 2020 showdown, with President Joe Biden potentially facing off against former President Donald Trump. While many believe Biden should be cruising to victory, with Trump facing numerous legal battles, a recent interview with Congressman Adam Schiff suggests that the President’s age may be a factor in the race.

Schiff, a Democrat representing California, expressed concern about Biden’s age, saying that while he’s a “smart and capable president,” his age “may be playing a role” in his performance. This sentiment echoes a common concern among voters, particularly those who are older themselves, who are worried about Biden’s ability to handle the demands of the presidency.

Data from the Pew Research Center reveals that 70% of Americans believe that a president’s age is “important” or “very important” when considering their vote. This suggests that age is a significant factor in the minds of voters.

While Schiff remains optimistic about Biden’s chances in the upcoming election, he acknowledges that “age is a real issue” and that the President “needs to address it head-on.”

What’s next for Biden?

Biden has not yet officially announced his candidacy for 2024, but his actions and rhetoric suggest he is leaning towards running. Whether he ultimately decides to run or not, the issue of his age will likely remain a key talking point in the upcoming campaign.
