Joe Biden turns 80 on the 20^th of November this year while Kamala Harris turned 58 on the 20^th of October this year.

Donald Trump turned 76 on the 14^th of June this year.

Only once before has a defeated President stood for re-elelction (and lost).

According to oldest.org Joe Biden is the oldest, Trump second oldest, followed by Ronald Reagan third then William Harris the fourth oldest President at the time of their first inauguration.

In two years time if Trump were to be re-elected, he would be just five months younger than Joe Biden when he was first elected.

Then what?

Two years further on (four years from now) the same people who are now saying Joe Biden is too old would have to look at Trump and admit he too is too old. They can't have it both ways.

If Biden behaved adequately, then no one would talk about age even if he was 90 years old. But he often looks into the void, goes in an incomprehensible direction and behaves like an old man who is lost. At the same time, Trump is behaving very cheerfully. This difference has been noticeable to everyone in recent years, so part of the voters will not vote For someone, but rather Against the fact that a person with dementia is the president.
In general, it would be good (for American voters) if they had a wider choice, including younger candidates.
