Joe Biden will be 81 in 2024.
Supposedly. He seems a lot older than that now.
RT:
President Joe Biden intends to run for reelection in 2024, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Friday. Biden is currently dealing with declining support from Democrat voters, while some lawmakers in the party are withholding their endorsement.
“The president intends to run in 2024 [and] we are a ways away from 2024,” Jean-Pierre told reporters. “We are going to continue to focus on doing the business of the American people, by delivering for families, by lowering costs for families, as we have been.”
Food and energy costs have skyrocketed under Biden, however, and GDP data released on Thursday indicates that the US economy has entered a recession. Despite Biden’s insistence that the US is “on the right path,” a poll by Civiqs earlier this month put approval of Biden’s performance at 29%, while an average of five other leading surveys shows the president’s approval rating at 39%. Across multiple polls, Biden almost always scores lowest for his handling of the US economy.
With the economic outlook gloomy, a CNN poll published earlier this week found that 75% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters want a fresh face to represent the party in 2024.
Democratic lawmakers have seemingly taken notice. Massachusetts Rep. Dean Phillips said in a radio interview on Thursday that he wants Biden to step down in 2024 to allow the country to be “well served by a new generation of compelling, well-prepared, dynamic Democrats.”
…
Aside from his dwindling poll numbers, Biden is also facing the realities of age. Republicans have long hammered the president for his apparent cognitive decline, mocking his apparent inability to speak even with a teleprompter and his visible disorientation in public. By 2024, Biden will be 81 years old, and according to a Harvard poll in May, 53% of Americans have “doubts about [Biden’s mental] fitness for office,” while 62% believe that he is “showing he is too old to be President.”
Obviously, the White House can’t just say “no, he’s not running in 2024 – he’s too old.” But it’s pretty obvious he will not be running in 2024.
Right now, the Democrats are using him to do every possible unpopular thing. Then they are going to bring in someone young and handsome – presumably California governor Gavin Newsom – in 2024. They will completely throw Biden under the bus.
Right now, I think it’s pretty likely that the Republicans will win in 2022, and the Biden Administration will focus on foreign policy adventures that the GOP agrees with but the population hates. Then in 2024, the Democrats will say they had no ability to control Biden – he was completely out of control – and they can’t be held responsible for what he did.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if AOC gets involved in the 2024 situation as well. She will be 35 by then, and she could be Newsom’s running mate. Bernie is obviously sharp for his age, but he’s even older than Joe. The Democrats have to somehow cater to the communist part of the party in order to get the energy going.
Of course, if the US dollar completely collapses before the election, something more interesting could happen. If that doesn’t happen, the only interesting thing that could happen would be Donald Trump running and being funny before losing in yet another fake election.
