He&#8217;ll turn 80 after the midterm elections, which are shaping up to be an unrelenting disaster for Democrats. It&#8217;s no wonder that so many journalists and other members of Biden&#8217;s party are increasingly reluctant to endorse him for reelection in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The following is a collection of statements from Democrats and liberal pundits acknowledging what most Americans already know: Biden is too old for the job he spent his entire life trying to attain. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Let me put this bluntly: Joe Biden should not run for reelection in 2024.
