President Joe Biden is now 80 years old. He will be 82 when he campaigns for the 2024 presidency – and a clearly debilitated 86 should he be elected and fill out his second term. He has been in government for over a half-century.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and current representative from California is 83.
Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., the second-ranking Democratic House member behind Pelosi, was House majority leader until early this year. He is 83, and has been an elected official for nearly 60 years.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is 72, with 48 years in elected government.
Democratic luminary and former chairman of the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, Senator Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., is 89, and ailing – after 53 years as an elected official.
James Clyburn, D-S.C., is House minority whip and 82.
Why is this article pretending this is only a problem on the Democrats’ side? Trump will be 78 by the time he runs in 2024, Mitch McConnell is 81, Risch is 79, Hal Rogers is 85, and Chuck Grassley is 89 and only a few months younger than Feinstein. This is why we need term limits. Congress was not designed with career politicians in mind.
But, Donald Trump has good sense and his mind is very sharp and clear, unlike senile old fart Joe.
