While acknowledging that ageism exists in society, Owen argues that it should not overshadow Biden&#8217;s experience, \u200cwisdom, and \u2063ability to lead \u2063the country.<\/p>\n<p>The article highlights the divide \u200bbetween\u2062 party leaders and ordinary voters, with many voters expressing\u200d their concerns\u2064 about Biden&#8217;s\u200c age and\u200b its\u200d potential effects on his performance\u200b as President. Several polls have shown that\u2064 a\u2064 significant \u2064number of Americans are worried about\u200d Biden&#8217;s ability to\u2064 effectively \u200bcarry out his duties due to his age. However, Owen believes that these \u2062concerns are misguided and rooted in bias against older individuals.<\/p>\n<p>According to \u200bOwen, Biden&#8217;s age should not be seen as a hindrance \u200cbut rather \u200das\u200d an\u200c asset. He argues that Biden&#8217;s many\u2063 years of political experience, \u2063including eight years as Vice President under Barack Obama, have\u2064 provided him with the\u2063 necessary skills\u2062 and knowledge \u2063to \u200dlead the\u200c country effectively. Owen also emphasizes\u2063 the importance of \u2062wisdom\u2062 and maturity, which often \u2062come with \u200dage, pointing\u2064 out \u200cthat these \u2064qualities are \u200dinvaluable in a leader.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Owen suggests that age should\u2062 not be the\u2064 sole\u200d determining\u2062 factor in evaluating a candidate&#8217;s ability to \u200cgovern. Instead, voters should \u2062focus on\u200d the candidate&#8217;s policies, \u200ctrack record, \u200dand ability to unite the nation. He urges voters\u2064 to consider the content of Biden&#8217;s \u200bcampaign platform and his track record as a senator and vice president when making their decision.<\/p>\n<p>The article also raises questions about\u200c the\u200c role \u2064of age \u200bin\u200d politics \u2063and whether\u2062 it should be a factor in determining a candidate&#8217;s fitness \u2063for \u200coffice. While age can undeniably\u200d impact\u200b a\u2063 person&#8217;s \u200dphysical and cognitive abilities, it \u200dshould not \u200cautomatically disqualify them\u2064 from serving in public office. Rather, voters should assess a candidate&#8217;s overall capabilities and their ability to meet the demands\u200d of the \u2064position they are seeking.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, this article sheds light \u200don the growing\u200c divide between \u200dparty\u2064 leaders and voters \u2062concerning President Biden&#8217;s age. William Owen, a Democratic National Committee member, argues that concerns about Biden&#8217;s age are\u2064 rooted in ageism and fail to\u2064 consider his \u2064experience, wisdom, and ability \u2064to\u2062 lead. Owen urges voters\u200d to \u2063look beyond age\u2064 and focus on a\u200b candidate&#8217;s\u2064 policies and track record when evaluating their\u2064 fitness for office. Ultimately,\u2063 it is up to the\u200c voters to \u2063decide whether age should be a deciding factor in their support for a \u2062particular candidate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Democratic official criticized voters&#8217; worries about President Joe Biden&#8217;s age in a recent New York Times article.
