Even Biden advisers admit president's age is a liability, ‘diminished his energy’: Axios report
White House aides have described the president as 'an aging king,' protected by a 'tight-knit palace guard of longtime aides'
By Gabriel Hays | Fox News According to a new report from Axios, not all of President Biden’s advisers and staff think criticisms of his age are unfounded. Some do think it is a liability.
In a piece detailing the American people’s misgivings about Biden being 82 at the time he would start a second term as president, the outlet mentioned that his "close advisers" too have claimed that his age poses some challenges.
Several of them have said his age has "diminished his energy," and "limited his schedule."
Biden aides have also compared Biden to an "aging king," whose staff work hard to keep him protected. According to these anonymous sources, his staff do "not take chances" when it comes to his safety.
The report, published Friday, opened with the question on many Americans’ minds about the president’s re-election bid: "Polls show that most voters of most ages wonder the same thing: Can President Biden really win the White House again at nearly 82 — and run it competently into age 86?"
Axios then noted that White House staff dread this question and try to dodge it whenever possible. It said, "It's a line of questioning the White House hates, and tries to brush off. But there are so many unknowns to rolling into your mid-80s with more power than anyone on Earth."
