MSNBC political analyst Cornell Belcher claimed over the weekend that President Joe Biden’s age was not only not a concern, but a benefit.
Belcher attempted to take a page from the playbook of former President Ronald Reagan — who also faced criticism about his age when he ran for president — and equate Biden’s age with experience and accomplishments that the other candidates could not match.
Belcher began by addressing recent polls that show Biden struggling, and in some cases failing, to come out ahead of Republican candidates like former President Donald Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley — and he said that Biden was in much the same predicament as former President Barack Obama had been at the same point in his presidency.
