I have seen people in their 90’s that are sharp as a whip. I have also seen people in their 70’s that are showing clear signs of significant mental decline. Joe Biden can be too old AND Nancy Pelosi can be at her best. These are not mutually exclusive and are two separate, unrelated issues.

If he wins I’m sure he’ll have a competent team there to help him. Every good president does.

would be less than 3 years from now.

If Biden plans to be a 2-term President, he would finish 9 years older than he is now.
