Where Democratic lawmakers stand on Biden staying in the race: on.wsj.com/3zFsj1d

Pilots mandatorily retire at 65. Air traffic controllers retire at 56. Do they make excuses about their mental acuity and sharpness to stay working? No, they retire. I’m sick of seeing people make excuses for a man who is in charge of the highest office in our country when there are obvious signs of degradation…
-
From a nurse of 30 years: There needs to be an age limit for the office of president. Not ageism, just realism.
-
If there is a minimum age limit for the presidency, shouldn't there also be a maximum age limit?
-
This lady seriously said "he's on fire" with a straight face
-
It is beyond me how these ended up being the final 2 choices. This is really the finest that America has to offer? The country needs ranked choice voting asap
-
Anyone over 70 should not run as a president.
-
I'm so disgusted that the older generation refuses to pass the baton like the generation before them.
-
Hey look man. Its simple. He is just too old and not mentally fit anymore. Democrat or repub. Its fine.. choose your side. But...we need 'fit' candidates. No hate towards any of them.
-
Seriously, everyone paying attention has seen he is mentaly lost. look at him 4 years ago vs now, he has completely deteriorated
-
What? "just aging" versus "cognitive decline"... Nobody at 80 is as cognitively sharp as they were when they were 30. Cognitive decline still happened.
-
“He’s on fire” 😂 just laughed my head off
-
I recall the WSJ calling us "conspiracy theorists" for thinking that this was a legitimate concern.
-
It’s not his age, it’s about his ability to form a thought and deliver a clear message. He had become painful to listen to well before the debate. Not sure why the media keeps trying to give him chances. People have been biting their tongues for a while, now they’re just over it. From now on Biden’s every gaff will dominate the news.
-
He should retire with what dignity he has left. He's this bad now from 21 to 24.... and he wants to go until 28?!?! No way
-
I feel sorry for the old man. :/
-
We need to stop this elder abuse. Both presidents are too old to run.
-
From a humanitarian standpoint, the best thing is to let him retire.
-
What pisses me off is the gaslighting from his press secretary.
-
He legit called dude Putin… n been giving him billions🤣🤣🤣🤣
