Today is the big day! Joe Biden turns 81 years old today. And the White House and Democrats are hoping against hope that everyone will not make a big deal about it, because they don’t want to dwell on the fact that Biden is OLD.
However, the media, despite their desire for Biden over Trump, is having a hard time ignoring the 81st birthday. Is this a sign that the media is giving up on Biden, and hoping that a younger candidate (like Gavin Newsom) can jump in to save the situation? Here is what several media outlets are saying, as they note Biden’s birthday.
The Wall Street Journal op-ed page:
If President Biden’s birthday Monday is anything like his last one, he’ll eat a cake quietly with family and hope nobody else notices. When he turned the big 80 last fall, the White House arranged a marriage as a distraction for the press. Mr. Biden’s granddaughter was wed on the South Lawn. The timing “was not a coincidence,” two sources told CNN.
