In coming months, Biden will probably answer a simple question: would he still want to be president at age 86?
oe Biden has presided over legislative deals that American presidents have sought for years, struggled with unpopularity yet led the Democrats to a historically strong performance in last year’s midterm elections, all before turning 80.
“I think Biden’s running again,” said David Brock, a veteran liberal political operative. “Had the midterm turned out differently, we’d be in a different place where we’d be handicapping who was best to take on the Republicans, but I don’t think we’re in that moment now. I think we’re in a Biden moment.”
“He spent his entire adult lifetime running for president, and on the third try, he finally got there. Who would give it up under those conditions, who? Almost nobody,” Sabato said. His group has started a campaign, Don’t Run Joe, which is circulating a petition and airing television ads in early primary states Michigan, Georgia and South Carolina that encourage Biden to step aside.
They will also continue trying to draw Americans’ attention to Biden’s gaffes – the message being that he is too elderly to lead. Brock, however, believes Biden could turn the situation around by casting himself as something of an old wise man.
