Age has become a persistent issue in US politics, including for the 80-year-old president
Joe Biden’s biographer said it would not be a “total shock” if the US president drops out of the race for the White House.
Franklin Foer, whose book on the first two years of the Biden administration is published this week, said while it is unlikely the 80-year-old president will abandon the race, it could not be ruled out.
Mr Biden’s age remains an issue as does that, albeit to a lesser extent, of 77-year-old Donald Trump.
”It doesn’t take Bob Woodward to understand that Joe Biden is old, and I’m not a gerontologist and I can’t predict how the next couple of years will age Joe Biden,” Mr Foer said on Meet the Press.
