Indeed. Bidens age was the only real argument he had. And now he is the ancient on in the race.
Oh he will find something. She's a woman. He's a misogynistic pig, so it won't be hard.
And I hope she chooses to not lead on a charisma card and instead leans on what she knows best: How to present facts in a concise way. Let her writers make the words, and her coaches help her stand out. I want someone to challenge Trump directly and feel it is the best strategy. Every single stupid little thing he says that includes a kernal of any information should be immediately disputed, disrupted, and dissolved.
It won't make any MAGA come to our side - well a few might though I'm not holding my breath, it will increase not so much the trust in Harris, but our willingness to stand behind her word. Trust will then increase with time and the accuracy of her statements. There is a certain level of leadership in that.
maga was already fucked, they were never voting for any libs ever. Independents are more likely to vote for her though.
Literally nobody was voting for Trump over Biden because of his age.
There were going to be a lot of low-info brain stems that sat out, voted third party, or just out and out voted for donnie for age and/or the media narrative about mental acuity. You can count on that.
If they voted for Don over two made-up issues, they'll vote for Don over some new story. The GQP are attacking VP Harris' laugh, now. Do I need to go find a clip?
If they're excusing all Don's myriad misdeeds - THE MAN IS A FELON - over a stutter and a stumble, they'll believe anything.
The American independent voter is a puzzling thing. I think they vote based upon a great many non-issues tbh, but Biden old was an easy attack line and was a media classic, and removal of it will sway a non zero amount of voters.
I mean people voted Obama then Trump... and there is a non zero amount of people who voted Trump and then Biden. I wouldn't be shocked if there would've been people that voted Trump then Biden that would've voted Trump again, and some of those could be swayed to Harris?

Biden's polling went noticeably down after the debate in which he was noticeably very fucking old.
