Even Democrats are wondering if President Joe Biden will stick with his stated intensions of running for reelection at the age of 81 acknowledge they are worried that attacks could swing some voters. Biden was making gaffes before his age was a political issue. Some Biden’s gaffes are being used by Republicans to question Biden’s competency, given his age. Last week, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had attributed Biden’s misstep being “top of mind” when she was pressed by reporters. Joe Biden is 79, the oldest president in US history.

Since his inauguration, Biden’s verbal stumbles, overblown claims have caused endless headaches for the staffers who must clean up — or try to prevent — his rhetorical messes. White House staffers are on pins and needles when Biden speaks publicly, fearing ​he’ll field questions from reporters afterward and muddle the West Wing’s carefully crafted messaging. The agita level is so high that some staffers will either mute the sound or turn off his remarks or abruptly kick reporters out. The president’s advisers try to manage him tightly, telling him to either decline to answer or field just a few questions shouted out by reporters, or from a listed approved reporters. And Biden is known to acknowledge, “I’m really going to get in trouble” before opening the floor to questions. At a White House press conference about the coronavirus in May, Biden told reporters, “I’m not supposed to be answering all these questions.”
