It's clear, according to recent polls, that some people are freaking out about the president's age. And facts are facts. At 80, Joe Biden is already the oldest president in U.S. history, and he would be 86 at the end of his second term.
On the other hand, the current Republican front-runner is 76 years old. Donald Trump's four-year age advantage seems far less consequential than, say, his position on issues like democracy, women's rights, gun violence and the climate crisis...
Bottom line: Biden is in good health (we know this because he actually puts out his health records every year) and benefits from decades of experience. Just ask Harrison Ford (80), Jane Fonda (85) and Gloria Steinem (89) if they are ready to retire. I think we already know the answer.
