How the Biden Campaign Is Pushing Back on the Age Issue

February 13, 2024 · 11:26 am ET · Leave a Comment

Daily Beast: “They’re preparing to ramp up their attacks on Trump’s capabilities by pushing out video clips online and reframing one of the central concerns of the 2024 campaign around the idea of ‘fitness’ for office instead of mental acuity.”

“The Biden campaign wants to make the case that the president’s missteps are innocuous and consistent for his gaffe-prone political career, while Trump’s are far more sinister and have grave, potentially life-and-death consequences.”

“Across social media platforms, the Biden-Harris HQ accounts will lead the charge on this front, increasing their use of video clips showing Trump saying outlandish or menacing things on the campaign trail, such as his comments over the weekend encouraging Russia to do ‘whatever the hell they want’ to NATO countries who don’t pay enough on defense spending.”
