Joe Biden's age was his biggest liability — now Democrats can flip the script on arguments that Biden was too old to lead and apply them to Trump.
  • At 78 years old, former President Donald Trump is now the oldest nominee running for president.
  • Joe Biden, 81, dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, 59.
  • If she becomes the Democratic nominee, Harris’ age could be an advantage against Trump.

    What I find most mad is that Kamala Harris is nearing retirement age for many industries - yet compared to many in her line of work she seems like she’s in her thirties and has a whole new career ahead of her.

      Remember back in 2001 when everyone freaked out at Cheney’s age? He was 60. Our “young” potential candidate is 59.

      We came within 1 year of having the first ever Gen X major party nominee (and immediately after the first ever Silent Generation president). But, she’s a yet another boomer by 1 year.
