Democrats are growing worried that the Biden campaign strategy of downplaying the president's age is the wrong approach to an issue that can't be ignored.
Just over a month after a special counsel report brought questions over Joe Biden's age to the forefront of the 2024 presidential campaign, Democrats are torn about the best way of addressing what is becoming one of the election's defining issues.The president, 81, and his advisers struck back after Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on February 8 depicted him as an 'elderly man with a poor memory.'Biden staged a rare evening press conference within hours.
'My memory is fine,' Biden said in response to questions about the findings. Minutes later, he took a question about the Middle East and mixed up the leaders of Egypt and Mexico.The mistake came the same week that the president said he had spoken with dead European leaders when he meant to refer to the current leaders of France and Germany.
