Concerns about Joe Biden's performance and age
As US President Joe Biden celebrates his 81st birthday, concerns are mounting within his own party about his ability to carry out the demands of the presidency. Democratic strategists worry that Biden's frequent gaffes and confusion are signs that he may no longer be fit for the job. These concerns stem from incidents such as Biden turning away from a wreath at a ceremony and wandering towards a man in uniform, as well as his verbal missteps. Polls show a majority of Americans, including Democrats, believe Biden is too old for a second term and question his ability to handle the rigors of a full campaign.
