Here’s the thing that nobody seems to believe, age isn’t really Biden’s problem.

Biden’s approval ratings didn’t drop from 56% after taking office to 38% now because he got a few years older.

Most people thought Biden was old in 2020. They think he’s even older now. But they care a whole lot more about the miserable state of the country and the world than Biden’s age. His age is collateral damage. Plenty of Dems, never mind Republicans and Independents, see Biden as inept, out of touch, and a dementia case because the country is a mess. His shambling walk, inability to complete a sentence, and general aura of random irritability contribute to a problem created by his actual actions.

So getting Biden to walk faster isn’t going to fix this.

Some advisers have told him he should walk faster out of concern that his gait feeds impressions that he’s too old.

It’s easier to get Biden to walk faster than to fix the inflation-government spending-rising interest rate spiral we’re in. It’s not easy, just easier, because you can get Biden to walk faster, but not get him to stop handing out money to cronies and special interests.

You’ll get Biden running the 1-minute mile before you get him to hold spending steady, never mind cut it.

Sure, Biden might be on a path to an incumbent victory if he had unleashed the economy, instead of throttling it and robbing it blind, but then what would be the point of being in office?
