Biden’s Age Will Be an Issue in 2024

January 11, 2023 · 11:01 am ET · Leave a Comment

James Carville: “Well, right now it’s pretty clear that he intends to run, but you can always change your mind. And I think the age issue is going to be huge. I’ll point out that Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Jim Clyburn, all resigned their posts. All of them are younger than Biden would be at the end of his second term, probably younger than mid-second term…”

“He’s got to consider the age issue because everybody else considers it. I’m 78, I’m like, ‘Do I think I could do this job seven years from now?’ Couldn’t do it, couldn’t have done it seven years ago. And it’s something that he’s going to have to deal with. And it’s not a gotcha question…”
