Democrats’ strategist expresses concern that Biden’s age would gift Republican victory

2024 U.S election is coming closer and the polls are speaking loudest as usual. One major factor on the poll is the advanced age of President Biden, who is 81 years old, but would be 86 years old by the time his second tenure finishes, should he win the next election.
Donald Trump is leading in the polls despite four indictments so far. Biden is facing an indictment, although, not directly on him but his son, who was accused of violating federal gun law and tax fraud. There are accusations hanging on the necks of both leading candidates, barring any last minute upset, the two leading candidates will emerge winners of their respective party primary elections.
For the second time, the two Presidents are expected to test their popularity and acceptability in the ballot box. Indictments have not stopped Donald Trump in his stride; rather, he has turned his indictment into a positive political tool – presenting himself as the shield of Americans. He has often said the deep states are not after him but after Americans and he is standing in their way – to stop them from hurting Americans.
Biden will lose the election – this is according to James Carville. The Democratic strategist has a history of being behind previous Democrats’ victories and is believed to be well grounded to know where the ball will go. This is coming a time Democrats have feigned ignorance of the fact that Biden’s age is a factor that could decide the election.
“You can’t look at this and not say that you are concerned. For me to come on television and say I don’t find this alarming or troubling at all , it had be stupid of me” he said on CNN.
Within the Democratic party, Biden’s age is what they nurse and try to deflect attention from it. Biden’s handlers have often steered clear the issue of Biden’s age, believing silence is the best way to handle it.
Critics have said White House is adamant that the age sentiment will go away, and that they believe there is a standing rule that nobody should give Biden’s age concern any publicity. Reacting to the actions of the White House concerning Biden’s age, critics believe the White House is taking Americans for granted.
Biden’s age may be a concern, but not necessarily because he is the oldest American President, but because of dementia-related acts caught on camera. The President has been caught on camera speaking out of order, and sometimes shaking the thin air. At a point, he was caught going the wrong direction during a function, and forgetting his surroundings and topics.
According to a report by Fox News, CNN and the Associate Press-NORC polls confirmed that Americans are quite worried about the President’s age and his ability to stay another term. Majority believe his age and health are worrying to them, and they could force their change of mind on who gets their vote. The next available candidate to get the votes is Donald Trump, and little wonder the former President is leading in current polls.
Reacting to the overall polls, James Carville said.
“Well, I guess, to say the least, the polls were not great, and it tells us that voters are expressing some apprehension here. It’s pretty clear. There is not much else you can say when you look at them.
