Democrats are trying to use Trump’s age against him now that Biden is no longer running.

As President Biden exits the 2024 race, former President Trump emerges as the oldest nominee in U.S. history, setting the stage for a potential showdown with Vice President Kamala Harris. The age factor has become a key point of contention for Democrats aiming to flip the script on Republicans.

The sudden chaos in the race for the White House was fueled by Biden’s decision to step aside, citing the best interests of his party and the country. Concerns over Biden’s age and mental acuity reached a peak following a disastrous debate performance, prompting calls for the 82-year-old to exit the race.

With Trump, 78, now taking the mantle as the oldest nominee ever, Democrats wasted no time in shifting their focus to attack his age. Ohio State Rep. Casey Weinstein quickly took to X to highlight the issue, questioning Trump’s ability to serve another four years at nearly 80 years old.

Even Harris, the potential Democratic nominee endorsed by Biden, is gearing up to capitalize on the age factor. Plans to highlight Trump’s age and fitness as potential liabilities have already been hinted at by Harris’s deputy chief of staff and West Wing veteran, Erin Wilson.

Wilson pointed out that Harris’s background as a prosecutor makes her the perfect foil to Trump, whom she referred to as a convicted felon. The strategy seems to be to draw a sharp contrast between Harris’s vitality and fitness for office against Trump’s age and alleged shortcomings.

It’s clear that age will be a central theme in the upcoming presidential race, with both sides poised to use it as a weapon to sway voters. As the stage is set for a historic showdown between Trump and Harris, the battle lines are drawn, and the campaigns are gearing up for what promises to be a fiercely contested election.
