Despite the end of his presidential aspirations, 82-year-old Biden appears reluctant to step away from the public stage. Recent reports suggest he is experiencing boredom, anger, and even physical limitations as he contemplates retirement.
After Democrats chose not to nominate him for president in July, 82-year-old Biden , who has been in public office since 1973 (51 years), is reportedly not enjoying the prospect of ending his over half-century long career at the center of American politics. According to reports, Biden told allies after dropping out of the race that he was bored, moody, and angry. He’s reportedly angry because many Democrats opposed his pardon of his son.
The gloomy boredom is seemingly a result of being pushed out from running for reelection. While some might assume Biden might be ready for retirement, he does not appear ready to leave the public stage, even though reports are beginning to surface about his health. A Tuesday article entitled, “A Weary Biden Heads for the Exit,” shed a glimpse into Biden’s condition as he leaves: After speaking for seven minutes on a day of draining humidity, a blue shirt hanging loosely over his frame, he turned to slowly shuffle away down a dirt path as several people in the audience not used to seeing him up close said they held their breath, worried that he would trip. (Aides said his gait was no more unsteady than usual.) When Mr. Biden visited the National Museum of Slavery that afternoon, he did not actually enter the main building to view the exhibitions; instead, artifacts were brought outside to show him, which two people familiar with the planning attributed to fear that the steep stairs would be too much of a challenge. (The White House denied that the stairs were a concern and said he was not brought inside for scheduling and logistical reasons.) Several of those who traveled with Mr. Biden on those two trips took note that he maintained a light schedule at times and sometimes mumbled, making him hard to understand. With the end of his career in sight, he seemed ruminative. At one point, during a private meeting, he drifted into a reminiscence about the famous 1960 debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon
