I agree age is a number and not necessarily a limiting factor. The limiting factor for Biden is that he really does not have much wisdom or mental capacity. As his mental capacity continues to decline, so does the limited wisdom. If Biden wins 2024, we’re very likely to have a President Harris by 2026. Yikes!

This is an excellent analysis by a renowned presidential historian of the pros and cons of an aged president, whether it's Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan, or Joe Biden. Another case study might be Franklin Roosevelt in 1944-45 -- he was in very poor physical health but had a strong vision of a post-war world.
