President Biden recently met with a key Middle East leader in an effort to tackle a complicated crisis and prevent further escalation of a regional war. Meanwhile, Governor Nikki Haley made her case for generational change in the Oval Office. Criticism about President Biden's age and competency has resurfaced following a special counsel report on his handling of classified documents, as well as recent remarks by former President Donald Trump.
The attacks on Biden's age, such as those highlighted in the special counsel report and voiced by Haley, may not be damaging for a significant reason - the voters are aware of the candidates' ages. With both Biden and Trump being senior citizens, voters will base their decision on their own needs and aspirations for the future, rather than the candidates' age. Despite the political nature of the special counsel report, it seems unlikely to have altered the dynamics significantly.
