Some independent observers also contend that the media focus on Biden’s age is excessive.ĭanielle Vinson, a professor of politics and international affairs at Furman University, argued: “There has been a lot of partisan coverage in conservative media that focuses on every gaffe that he makes. Still, the former president’s extreme divisiveness and high unfavorably ratings could give Biden an advantage he would not have against a younger, less polarizing opponent. Most polls, including the NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ and Associated Press/NORC surveys, show fewer voters to be as concerned with age in relation to Trump, however. Trump, 77, is just three years younger than Biden. Rosenberg further asserted that Biden’s experience was partly responsible for him “being able to pass ten years’ worth of legislation in just two years” before Republicans took control of the House this January.Ĭoncerns about Biden’s age could also become at least a degree less damaging if former President Trump becomes the GOP nominee, as looks likely for the moment. “The problem with Biden being 80 is that he is acting more and more like a senior citizen without all of his faculties,” said Tobe Berkovitz, a Boston University professor emeritus who specializes in political communications.īiden’s general demeanor, Berkovitz added, “reinforces that he is an old 80-year-old, not a spry, competent 80-year-old.” Those findings were broadly in line with an Associated Press/NORC poll released last week, which found 77 percent of adults believe Biden is too old to effectively serve a second term 69 percent of Democrats shared that view. Tuesday’s poll showed even 60 percent of Democrats expressing concern about Biden’s capacity to serve a second term.
The next-oldest president at the end of his term was President Reagan, who left office in January 1989 aged 77. If the president wins reelection, he will be 82 at the time of his second inauguration and 86 at the conclusion of his term.

Sancho's latest absence from the first-team group raises concerns about their numbers in the right-wing position, with Antony delaying his return to the club amid allegations of assault. This is not the first time England international Sancho has been excluded from United training under Ten Hag, with the winger undergoing an individual fitness programme in the Netherlands last season which saw him watch the World Cup from afar.ĭuring that period, Sancho did not play for United between October 22 and February 1 but did play in the Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle upon his return and ended last season with seven goals and three assists for United.
John Murtough, the director of football, and Richard Arnold, the chief executive, have been brought in to sort out the issue between the player and the manager, with the club hoping for a quick resolution. Some players think Sancho has been training well since the summer and should not be singled out for criticism, but no one thinks he should have challenged the manager in public.
