It appears that some observers attribute Joe Biden’s lagging poll numbers to what they perceive as a concerted effort by Democrats to use his age as a means of undermining him.
This perception suggests that there is a widespread campaign within the Democratic Party to focus on Biden’s age rather than on his accomplishments or policy initiatives.
Critics argue that this focus on Biden’s age is pervasive, ranging from critiques of media coverage that overly fixate on his age to open discussions about potential replacements for him.
They point out instances where any issues related to Biden’s age are magnified and used as fodder for political debate, overshadowing discussions on other critical matters facing the country.

Instead of highlighting the successes of the Biden administration or discussing policy achievements, some Democrats are seen as consistently bringing up Biden’s age as a central talking point. This behavior, critics argue, detracts from more substantive conversations about governance and policy priorities.
For those who advocate for a change in leadership, such as elevating Kamala Harris to the top of the ticket or replacing Biden and Harris altogether, the focus should ideally be on touting the accomplishments of the Biden-Harris administration or highlighting the successes of Democratic policies.
Even for those who support Biden and his current administration, there are numerous achievements to celebrate and discuss. However, the prevailing narrative suggests that instead of emphasizing these accomplishments, Democrats are fixated on discussions about Biden’s age.
This focus, critics argue, is not conducive to constructive political discourse and does little to address the nation’s pressing issues.
The contention is that Democrats neglect more meaningful discussions in favor of dwelling on Biden’s age, thereby failing to communicate their vision and accomplishments to the public effectively.
Whether this perception accurately reflects the state of Democratic messaging and priorities is a matter of debate, but it underscores the need for a more substantive and forward-looking approach to political discourse.
