It is President Joe Biden’s 80th birthday. The best gift he could give the nation, and himself, is an announcement that he will not run for president in 2024.

“Age will be an issue if I act old, and it won’t if I don’t,” Reagan said when he was running for reelection in 1984. He was 73 at the time, almost a full decade younger than Biden will be in 2024. And Biden has been acting very old.
There is the time he fell not once, not twice, but three times trying to climb up the boarding stairs into Air Force One. There is the time he fell off his bike in front of reporters in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. And there are the countless times he has seemed lost walking the wrong way offstage after speeches.
