At least two establishment media outlets on Thursday questioned President Joe Biden’s 2024 viability due to his advanced age and continuous blunders.
The issues were raised on the same day the president will undergo a physical examination, as Breitbart News reported.
As rumors swirl Biden will launch a reelection campaign in April, the media appear to be taking the position Biden’s age and mental acuity could impact his chances of defeating the GOP nominee. One outlet phrased the White House’s attempt to play down the dilemma as a balancing act.
“That is leading to a focus on events that try to play up the president’s vitality, while trying to strike a balance in the schedule of a man who tends to make more blunders when tired,” CNN’s Edward-Isaac Dovere and Phil Mattingly wrote.
