Though I hoped that President Biden would settle for a single term and hand the reins of the Democratic Party to a younger generation, that is not to be. Nevertheless, he is an experienced, thoughtful and empathetic leader who surrounds himself with highly qualified Cabinet Members and advisors.
The concerns about his age are primarily related to his candidacy and overlook his many achievements as President. Going forward, I hope that the majority of Americans will focus on Biden's policies which, compared to Trump's rhetoric, are the essential reasons to support his candidacy. Democracy, human rights, gun control, reproductive rights and environmentalism top the list in my opinion.
Trump, only a few years younger than Biden and showing signs of cognitive decline himself, is focused solely on his own welfare and power. He is an incompetent and dangerous narcissist leading a cult of revenge. Hopefully, most Americans will look past the age issue and concentrate on the many serious problems that confront our country and our planet.
