The Problem With Old Politicians Goes Way Beyond Biden. Here's What Dems Can Actually Do About It.

The revelation of President Joe Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis has shocked many, particularly amid his ongoing struggles in the media and his controversial 2024 campaign. Books criticizing his cognitive abilities and questioning his decision to seek reelection have surfaced, intensifying scrutiny on his leadership.
