Opinion: President Biden just celebrated his birthday. So should voters.

LA Times  

Earlier this week, President Biden celebrated his 81st birthday. “To the workers at the birthday candle factory,” he wrote, “I hope your union got you overtime.” That Biden is comfortable joking about his age so publicly is a positive turn of events. “Trump’s tendency to bluster has probably also helped hide his aging,” David A. Graham wrote in the Atlantic this week. His new film, “Napoleon,” said the Daily Beast, “is a testament to Scott’s peerless directorial skill at bringing traditional combat to blistering life.” Vanessa Redgrave, 86, has five upcoming projects. In response to questions about his age and capacity, Biden’s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, recently joked that “80 is the new 40.” Well, she’s wrong.
