"nearly everyone" is doing a lot of work there. I for one don't expect him to die in his term. I do expect him to decline running for a second term and set up Harris for a strong campaign in 2024, but four years is a long time.

- spaetzleesser 6y agoConsidering how old Pelosi and McConnell are I think 75 may just be the minimum age for political leadership in the US right now. The fact that Biden ran with 78 shows that he has a big ego so I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t let go in four years either. Maybe it will be 78 years old vs 82 year Biden with 86 year old Pelosi leading the house and 80+ year old McConnell in the senate. Trust no one younger than 75 :(
- nerdponx 6y agoThe Baby Boom generation is a huge voting group, and their candidates are aging at the same rate as the people who keep voting for them. And 30 years of brand recognition seems powerful enough to keep serious (younger) competition out of the way. There is probably a doctoral thesis somewhere in here.
