Media now begging Biden not to die on them

The Democrats overperforming in the 2022 midterms may be the worst thing to happen to them in 2024. Up until election day, the whisper campaign against Joe Biden running again was in full swing. But once the dust from the midterms cleared, and the damage was limited to Florida and the House, Biden emerged as a nearly untouchable victor.

Untouchable, that is, except to the ravages of time, which come for us all. But don’t remind cranky Grandpa Joe of that fact.

The president has vented to allies about how often his age is mentioned in the press — “You think I don’t know how fucking old I am?” he said to one earlier this year. But who knows what the fates have in store for someone who just turned 80 a few weeks ago (Sorry, Mr. President!).”
