The Washington Examiner’s Byron York is doing some of the best political commentary these days. In the current uproar about Biden’s obvious aging, York suggests an interesting comparison you can make yourself, using mainstream video posted to YouTube. York writes:
The voters see what they see. Even before the Hur report, they knew that Biden was weakening. Try this: Look at Biden’s recent remarks after winning the 2024 South Carolina Democratic primary and then look at Biden’s remarks after winning the 2020 South Carolina Democratic primary. See if you think Biden is as vigorous today as he was just four years ago.
This comparison is worth trying, the difference is vivid. Biden’s deterioration in 4 years is dramatic.
The presidency is wearing on those who win it, when they’re a whole lot younger than Biden. Even though he’s been on vacay half the time, being POTUS has worn him down.
