Eightieth birthday wishes come President Joe Biden’s way Sunday and so does speculation over whether he’ll seek another term. Some experts say that for all his flubs, Biden seems younger than his years. The public appears unconvinced.

To observe Biden at work is to see a leader tap a storehouse of knowledge built up over a half century in public office as he draws on deep personal relationships at home and abroad, his mastery of policy and his familiarity with how Washington works or doesn’t. In short, the wisdom of the aged.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision, at age 82, to pull back from leadership and let a new generation rise may spill over into Biden’s thinking and that of his party as Democrats weigh whether they want to go with a proven winner or turn to the energy of youth.

In an AP VoteCast survey of the electorate this month, fully 58% of voters said he does not have the mental capability to serve effectively as president. That was a grim picture of his standing now, not just looking ahead to another potential term. Only 34% said he’s a strong leader. Biden says he begins most days with an 8 a.m. workout, when he is usually joined by his personal trainer and physical therapist, Drew Contreras, if he doesn’t ride his Peloton bike.

In his November 2021 summary of Biden’s health after the president’s first full physical in office, Dr. Kevin O’Connor noted Biden’s gait had become somewhat stiffer, something doctors watch for in older patients as it could signal a fall risk. At the same age, Pelosi buzzes Capitol hallways in high heels, outpacing much younger people. And her cognitive abilities have never been in question.

In democracies, where voters are the boss, and in autocracies, where they’re not, plenty of people in power soldier on in their advanced years, even if few are up there like former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who became the world’s oldest leader at 92 and is running to get the office back, at 97.

They recalled seeing Ronald Reagan struggle in his second term, before he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s after he left office, and felt that he, too, had surrounded himself with competence, as much as they disagreed with his direction.

In no way should he run, but it's not him running anyway. He's being propped up by crooked elitists.

why isn't he smiling

CLAIM: The Associated Press claimed Saturday that Republicans have not put forward evidence that President Joe Biden and his son Hunter have “spoken” about the family’s foreign business dealings. VERDICT: FALSE.

Just too old for re-election.

His own party doesn't want him to run.

Hahahahah! He can't even remember what is on his telaprompter!

alaskarebel Where were all your stories about Chuck Grassley’s (older) age? Hmmm

It’s gross for 80 year olds to hold political office, especially if there is noted cognitive decline which is often. Our country’s political system is flawed.

Good article, but I don’t buy this about him being some super-ager who should serve forever. He needs to emulate Pelosi and be the “bridge” to younger leaders he claimed to be in 2020. This isn’t “I alone can fix it.”

Yawn, Chuck Grassley is 89, he’ll be 95 when his term ends.

hunter Biden

Biden Administration is disgusting

Hard to believe, Reagan appeared so much older.

Given that some have their doubts he will even finish his term, given his clear cognitive decline, I'd suggest that running again in 2024 might be the least of his concerns

He should announce and get the nomination, but no one should vote for anyone aver the age of 80

Que se investigue su corrupta vida

Happy Birthday President Biden 🙏🏻🇺🇸🎂

At least an old mind is clearer and more rational than one diseased by syphilis as our first presidents mind was. We must start valuing experience & knowledge over youth & angry violence.

Just be done. Time served. Pelosi showed the right thing to do is pass the torch. Plenty of good people in the party, younger people with a better grasp/connection to the future of America. I'd suggest the same for the GOP, no, I don't like Trump, but he's not your future either

That life expectancy was about 50 in 1900 means little. Life expectancy is simply an average age of all deaths, and in 1900 you many more child deaths averaged in. There were still very old people then. Consider: Socrates was 70 when he took the Hemlock - 2500 years ago!

We need age and te limits

Maybe it's time for Biden to go to a nursing home?

He should go and rest pls

If fate were kind, we wouldn’t have to deal with dementia Joe or bloated Donny. But it isn’t

He has no business in office now.

He will & should.

Chick Grassley would say go for it.

_Politics Thank God for Joe Biden

USA must not allow democRats who use Illegal migrants to rig continue stealing elections using Mail-In ballots unchallenged otherwise Democracy is Over. Even Green Card be abolished, no jobs in USA due to AI & Automation. BarackObama GOP AOC RepMTG tedcruz HillaryClinton

those years he lost after the car crash weren't kind

Failure 2.0

Sorry, I shan't be celebrating the occasion...

Happy Birthday, Still Trump's President!

Please no. For the love of god. Do the Dems not have a better nominee? Really? No one?

reporting can't even mention realDonaldTrump without throwing a comma in and talking About January 6 or some other BS, but totally give Biden a pass on being a dirtbag his entire time as POTUS.... weird how that works.

Age limits for POTUS and Congress when?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

'He's too old!!' Screams people about to vote for a 78yr old

He's v v old

Running for re-election after 80 is nuts. Whether President or small town mayor.

He doesn't sound a day over 110

I hope his drill bib is nice and sparkly

_Politics

2024ByeByeBiden

Do us all a favor, and don’t.

It's very obvious we have an 80 year old President.. Why would he not step down if he really cares about this country. He's aware he's not in the best mental shape.. He knows that...

No

AYO 😂😂👀

Happy Birthday, old man! ❤️🤘🏻✌🏻

R/T and follow if you agree

Shabidudah. Biden, 2022.

A better question is, will his apparent lack of mental acuity even allow him to finish this term, and better yet, whom is REALLY running things, Biden or 'President Harris' as Biden oft refers to her ?

We don’t need any candidate over 60.

He probably wants to but once the republicans get done with him in the next Congress he’s not going to be able to. 🤣

He shouldn’t.

Ronald Regan went to high school with Jesus! He must’ve been older than eighty when he launched his campaign.

And the only thing he's known for is trying to execute children and a lot safe and still in their Bible and will not much for accomplishment even if you do turn 80 you don't abuse children and steal their Bibles

Joe Biden's message to the republicans 👇👇👇👇👇

But not the American electorate, apparently.

Doing prettay prettaay good for an 80 year old!!!

He's too old. I know, I know, its admitted agism- but the Commander in Chief shouldn't be older than the maximum age allowable of the military personnel he leads. 10USC1253 sets that age at 68.

He’ll run and win.

How is this newsworthy?

DementiaJoe

What Joe says and what his team says always conflict. I'll believe it if it's official.

'Storehouse of knowledge:.... 'mastery'..... 'wisdom of the aged' We're not biased, we're liberals. --

Of course, since the AP has told a big whopper of a lie, who is going to believe what they write anymore?

Hell he doesn't know he is president now.

Please, please no. We are all eagerly awaiting Joe and Jill's retirement photos.

Joe the Rock! He did really, really good job so far. I don't think that any other President befor, had an antagonists that was more nasty then Trump.

I hope not. We need someone younger and not the orange man either!

Irish gas monkey

We all appreciate his wins against Trumpism but it’s time to retire buddy

No

80 Years of failure Disgraceful Clown

He would be 86 at the end of a second term.

Regardless of age let’s pray both parties nominate better candidates then they have in 2016 and 2020. We can’t keep voting in incompetent clowns as President.

No chance of running. Dem nominee will be Michelle Obama

80 and it's showing. Biden

For your birthday you will be investigated. From all the mexicanos in san antonio breakfast tacos. We wish you a great investigation. Muahahhahaha

You know what's ironic' That his age tomorrow will be the same as his IQ.

I can guarantee 70% of the slackers who talk about his age would wilt under the schedule he keeps. He’s not watching Fox News for 3 hours every morning before being driven or flown to the golf course to then ride around in a cart and take mulligans all day. The man WORKS.

He's done a great job but please don't run again. Time for the senior citizens to give up power. Boomers, it's time to retire from government.

Fact Check: AP Falsely Claims No Evidence Exists Joe and Hunter Biden Spoke About Foreign Business Deals 🖕🏻🤡

Give it a rest. The mid-terms JUST ENDED.

He should have been 25th by now.

He shouldn't be run again. He should be retire

Let s hope not!

I'll take the old man who can win in a 100 yard dash. Trump obese a__ couldn't run 10 feet if needed. And Chuck Grassely was around when steel was inverted sooo...

Is there anyone who believes he’ll run again? I’m not on that train.

Ehilà! Sto usando App Via.

𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮 Benvenuti, vi ringrazio per avermi contattato, mi metterò di nuovo al più presto.STEFANOBORZI5GMAILCOM

Wtf?!

Why does Joe like Elementary School girls? Because as he gets older they stay the same age.

I support Biden but I've had enough of old white men running the country.

If he dumps Harris, he has my vote. But a Harris presidency is a thing to fear.

Does he know he ran last time?

He has to say he intends to run again right now so congress doesnt lose faith in him and start walking away from him and deal with those who say they are. to get ready for the passing of power, and new agendas etc etc.

Oh I hope not. We need younger blood, in his position and in many seats of Congress. Generally old white men.

Now that midterms are over it’s time to decide who to throw your support behind Joe. You did your job and have gotten us outta the trump mess but we need someone else to move us forward now.

TermLimits (he shouldn’t have been able to e in the senate for 47 years of grifting) no one over 70 should be in the line of succession for presidency.

Dude is 30 weeks away from diapers. His cognitive function wont last another term.

My granny lived to be 96 and she was whip smart to the end of her days. It was her bone structure and internal systems that betrayed her, not her mind. She was still running the family when she left this earth. 80 is 'nuthin.

Happy Birthday and RETIRE!!

I like what Joe Biden has done so far, but I'd prefer if he retired after this term.

Attn DougJBalloon

What was the response to Trump’s announcement for another presidential run? He’s 76 and “flubs” more than Biden. It’s widely agreed, though, that Trump’s catastrophic flaw is his criminality. The public expects he’ll be in prison before the next election.

Stop the propaganda.

Some? Ha ha ha. How about very few?

Joe should seek a term in a care home.

WTF ? You can't just wish him a happy birthday? JeezUS F Christ!!!! HappyBirthdayPOTUS

Must PROTECT Dear Leader!

Some experts? Experts in what? Bullshit?

Potus is inept.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. PRESIDENT.

You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig.

🤣🤣🤣

He isnt going to be a 2024 candidate but saying so now will make him a lame duck POTUS. Fuck, where did all the intelligence in the world disappear to?

President Biden has been making gaffes his whole life. I don't care😎

Shit how much younger? 76? Dudes a dinosaur. He’s like Viserys, he better choose an heir

Funny how all the experts agree that he's as sharp as tack. Funny how people don't trust 'experts.'

668 of Building Back Better

joshboak Biden has been 'flubbing' with gaffes since... forever? It's a feature, not a bug.

He fell off his bike, tripped up his private jet's stairs, and often flubs speechs. When can we get a young leader?

_Politics I can’t believe he’s only 80. Watching him ramble incoherently as he battles his mortal enemy, the TelePrompTer, then shuffle around whatever stage he’s on until someone helps him off makes him look like he’s 110.

Experts?

Younger than his years? You cannot be serious. He is lost and confused 75% of the time.

Because we have eyes

Experts in BS….

what about this old rag?

Biden80th Time to retire, Man. We need new blood with fresh new ideas.

I'd say here's to your next stroke, but he's already running around with less gray matter than a starfish now.

A fitness for duty evaluation with cognitive testing will answer the question whether President Biden is fit to continue serving. Absent that, it is just speculation, guesswork and opinion.

80 is the new 90.

Tomorrow is President Biden's birthday born November 20, 1942

NoBiden2024

Unfit.

Happy Birthday!

'Flubs'? Consider me flubberghasted.

ToPOTUS Happy Birthday Mr. President! Fortunately I'm No Longer Gay

Younger than his age? You mean 'senile'? That's a bit cruel, AP. Accurate, but cruel.

All his flubs AP? You never called out Trump for his inability to drink a glass of water or walk down a ramp. Biden cycles at 80.

What about Chuck Grassley in Iowa? Isn't he like 90? And don’t forget that puzzy grabbing walking Cheeto is 76.

He does seem much younger. Still rides bicycles w/the First Lady.

Watching him walk is excruciating, so much so that I wish he'd use a walker or a wheelchair. POTUS

Dementia Joe.

Dementia Joe.

Hopefully he will do the right thing and retire. Of course he may stay and pardon Hunter if necessary.

I’d say those experts should have their credentials checked.

Have you seen him walk?

He couldn’t tell you if it was day or night if he didn’t have someone giving him the answer!

As Nancy Pelosi did, it's time to hand the reigns of the Democratic Party to a younger generation.

The public seems to be partially coherent.

As a member of the public, I vociferously disagree with your conclusion.

'Some experts say...he seems younger than his years.' Are there experts in literally everything?

After the mid terms, you’re still saying “unconvinced”?

He's doing a stellar job with a non-stop schedule. IAmWithJoe

I’ll bet he thinks he’s turning 25 again.

“The public seems unconvinced” What public? Republicans? Sure. Dems & liberals, nah we’re fine. Don’t include most of us in your skewed article title. What is this? An opinion piece? Smfh

Stop speculating about the next Presidential election.

I have nothing negative to say in regards to Biden and his age, but I do believe we need to start looking to younger candidates. They will be here much longer than us.

Seriously doubt it

Happy Birthday 5 Words

Biden is better than this lying criminal TrumpIsALaughingStock

Nursing home time

What experts think he seems young? Why do the MSM protect this man so much?

'For all his flubs,' bro did he describe a hurricane in terms of wetness or something

Is this written by parody account 'New York Times Pitchbot'? Odd that I regularly see allegedly 'legitimate' journalism outlets write age-related articles about Democrats but I never see similar articles about Octogenarians in the GOP like McConnell or Grassley.

No expert says that! Take this BS tweet down

Ummm...No

Arrest, Jail Obama, Biden, Clinton for treason NOW!

I love that most of the replies to your ageist article pandering to the cis het white conservative male only crowd are calling out this exact bull shit that you are doing

Slow Joe

‘Some experts say…….’? Who are these ‘experts’? And are they older than Joe?

Nice try

Well a not insignificant number of the 'public' voted last week to eliminate or reduce their own right to, uh, vote. Just because a few million people say a stupid thing, doesn't make it not a stupid thing.

Thanks to Elon, now EVERYONE can flood Twitter with misinformation and disinformation. lol 😆🍿

He doesn't look younger, he looks 90 years old. He should resign.

Your name looks familiar…didn’t you used to be a news organization? 🤡

NO MORE OLD PEOPLE!!!!

What an irresponsible article. He’s polling pretty well and why don’t you do an ageist piece on anyone in the GOP? Who’s payroll are you on? Disgusting.

The public does NOT! The media does, get it right.

Unconvinced is an understatement.

“Some experts say that for all his flubs, Biden seems younger than his years.”

Severe neurological damage.

He doesn't act a day over 95 and his dementia is barely noticeable I promise.

His handlers need to pick out his home, and it won’t be the White House.

There are no 'experts', only partisan hacks with opinions.

That’s my president!!! ❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟🙏💥💥💥🌟🌟😍😍😍💕💕🙌🙌🙌🙌💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

'Some experts' - your cat is not an expert

By “the public” we know to mean “the media that all frames its reporting from the perspective of straight white conservative men.”

“Experts”

You surely aren’t serious with that statement that he seems younger than his age?! Absolutely no one thinks that. We do NOT need an old man of any political affiliation leading this country anymore. It’s time to move away from that idea.

Now tell us how the Republicans are making a bold move with their choice of party leader

Please do it baby, your so big and strong and can sweep the floor with Donald Trump or Ron whatever his name is DeSantis. Your a strong young man who don't take no shit.

80 years? LIES! Everyone knows Joe has been in the Senate for 120 Years.

Laughable!

What flub? Name one.

We need an upper age limit for all elected offices

Must be some good shit whatever you all are smoking .
