Age Bias in Politics: Examining the Focus on Biden's Age

Voters are expressing concerns about the age of both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, who are just three years apart in age. While some voters believe Trump appears younger and more in touch with the times, others worry about Biden's ability to handle the demands of the presidency for another full term. Many voters expressed a desire for younger candidates across the board, but acknowledged that age is just a number and that Trump has aged better. Trump has actively tried to portray Biden as unfit for the job, while some voters have picked up on unproven or false talking points about Biden's cognitive abilities. Overall, age is a factor on voters' minds, but it is not the only issue shaping their decisions.
