NYT: End of ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’ on Biden’s Age
“Biden’s age is the most crucial non-Trump issue in this election,” declared a New York Times political reporter on Thursday. “Polling says so. Voters say so.”
According to reporter Astead Herndon, the White House and D.C. have been pretending that Biden’s age is not a concern, but that may change now.
“Maybe that ends now.”
Biden’s age is the most important non-Trump issue in this election. Polling says so. Voters say so. It’s just the WH/DC have had a sorta gentleman’s agreement for the last year to pretend like it’s not. Maybe that ends now https://t.co/W7d6BPK9SW
Following special prosecutor Robert Hur’s report on the president’s mental decline, he was retweeted by his colleague Michael Barbaro, host of the popular Times podcast, “The Daily.”
Thursday evening, the White House executive staff presented the president to the cameras, hoping to dispel any doubts about his mental fitness. However, within minutes, the 81-year-old began to slow down, mumble, and slur his words.
Despite the initial burst of energy, Biden’s troubles were just beginning. He struggled to answer questions, confusing Israel’s border with America’s and Mexico’s president with Egypt’s.

It was clear to everyone that the president was struggling, and even corporate-reporter-Twitter, known for its denial and Trump derangement, couldn’t ignore the signs of Biden’s declining faculties.
Perhaps the “sorta gentleman’s agreement” was finally coming to an end. But who was this agreement with in the first place? Certainly not the voters, who could see Biden’s decline from the start. Maybe it was an agreement among the powerful people who wanted to rule us.
The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, CBS, NBC, and ABC all played a significant role in running Biden’s campaign. They downplayed his cognitive issues and silenced anyone who questioned them.
Now, they are suddenly acknowledging his age as an issue and asking tough questions. But don’t just take their word for it. This ”agreement” was never made with you, the American people.

What concerns and polling data support the claim that Biden’s age is the most important non-Trump issue in this election?
G to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The president of Mexico has no role in that. He also referred to Israel’s border with America. Israel does not border America. It borders several Middle Eastern countries.
This public display of Biden’s cognitive decline has sparked renewed concerns about his ability to effectively serve as president. While there has been ongoing speculation about Biden’s age and mental fitness, these recent incidents have brought the issue back into the spotlight.
The fact that Biden is the oldest elected president in history, at 81 years old, has always raised concerns among voters. With the demanding nature of the presidency and the numerous challenges facing the country, it is crucial to have a president who is mentally sharp and capable of making important decisions.
There is no denying that age can impact cognitive abilities, and it is not uncommon for individuals in their 80s to experience some degree of cognitive decline. While some argue that Biden’s age and experience bring wisdom and stability to the presidency, others worry that his cognitive decline may hinder his ability to effectively govern.
The issue of age and mental fitness is not unique to Biden. Previous presidents, such as Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, faced similar scrutiny. However, with Biden’s recent public mishaps and the ongoing speculation about his mental decline, the issue has become a focal point of this election.
It is important to note that age should not be the sole determinant of a candidate’s ability to serve as president. Other factors, such as experience, leadership qualities, and policy positions, also play a significant role in assessing a candidate’s suitability for the role. However, age should not be ignored or dismissed when considering the overall fitness of a candidate.
The American people deserve a president who is mentally sharp, capable of making important decisions, and effectively leading the country. It is essential for voters to thoroughly evaluate the candidates and consider all aspects, including age and mental fitness, when casting their vote.
As the 2024 election approaches, it is crucial that the issue of Biden’s age and mental fitness is addressed openly and transparently. The American people have the right to know the potential limitations that may come with electing an 81-year-old president. It is a decision that will have long-lasting implications for the country.
While age and mental decline are valid concerns, it is also important to approach this issue with sensitivity and respect. Aging is a natural process, and many individuals continue to make important contributions well into their later years. However, when it comes to the presidency, where the stakes are high and the demands are great, it is necessary to have a leader who is at the top of their faculties.
The upcoming election will be a test for Biden, as well as for the American people. It will determine whether concerns about Biden’s age and mental fitness are decisive factors in their decision-making process. Ultimately, it will determine the future path of the country.

“Joe Biden’s Age Becomes Crucial Issue in 2024 Election”
In the upcoming 2024 presidential election, Joe Biden’s age has emerged as one of the most vital non-Trump issues, according to a New York Times political reporter. This revelation is based on polling data and the concerns voiced by voters themselves. Despite attempts by the White House and Washington D.C. to downplay these concerns, it appears that they may no longer be able to ignore the issue.
Astead Herndon, the political reporter for the New York Times, stated that Biden’s age is the most important non-Trump issue in this election. The fact that polling data and voters’ opinions support this claim suggests that the issue cannot be overlooked any longer. For the past year, the White House and Washington D.C. have been engaged in a tacit agreement to pretend that Biden’s age is not a concern. However, this agreement may now be coming to an end.
One of the key incidents that brought Biden’s age into the spotlight was a public display of his cognitive decline. Following a report by special prosecutor Robert Hur on the president’s mental decline, doubts about his mental fitness were raised. This report was subsequently retweeted by Michael Barbaro, the host of the popular New York Times podcast, “The Daily.” Shortly thereafter, the White House executive staff presented Biden to the cameras in an attempt to dispel any doubts about his mental fitness. However, within minutes, it became apparent that Biden was struggling. He began to slow down, mumble, and slur his words, which led to concerns about his ability to effectively serve as president.
During the presentation, Biden had difficulty answering questions and displayed confusion about various world leaders and their roles. For example, he mistakenly referred to the president of Mexico as being involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and he confused Israel’s border with America and Mexico with that of other Middle Eastern countries. These incidents further fueled concerns about Biden’s cognitive decline.
Biden’s age has been a source of concern since he became the oldest elected president in history at 81 years old. The demanding nature of the presidency and the challenges facing the country require a mentally sharp and capable leader. While some argue that Biden’s age and experience bring wisdom and stability to the presidency, others worry that his cognitive decline may hinder his ability to effectively govern.

Previous presidents, such as Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, also faced similar scrutiny regarding their age and mental fitness. However, with Biden’s recent public mishaps and ongoing speculation about his mental decline, the issue has taken center stage in this election.
While age should not be the sole determinant of a candidate’s ability to serve as president, it should be considered alongside other factors such as experience, leadership qualities, and policy positions. The American people deserve a president who is mentally sharp, capable of making important decisions, and effectively leading the country.

Ultimately, the upcoming election will determine the future path of the country and whether concerns about Biden’s age and mental fitness will play a decisive role in the decision-making process. It is a test not only for Biden but also for the American people. The election will reveal whether they prioritize the potential limitations that come with an older president or prioritize other factors such as experience and policy positions.
