Press coverage has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2022\/nov\/20\/joe-biden-midterms-democrats-presidency\">emphasized Biden\u2019s vindication<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The shot in the arm is understandable given what his party was able to pull off, but it doesn\u2019t make Biden a day younger \u2014 in fact, he just turned 80, and every day of his presidency is an experiment in whether an unprecedentedly aged president can perform at the level demanded of the office.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats consider Biden the safe choice in 2024, since he\u2019s the incumbent and surrounded by flawed alternatives, yet he is actually an enormous risk. Nominating him again would be extremely reckless, both for the party and for the country.<\/p>\n<p>It may well be that Biden, even in his enfeebled state, is the best matchup against Donald Trump. He beat him once before, after all, and used him as an effective foil during the midterms. It is to Biden\u2019s advantage that it has proven difficult for anyone to work up a passionate hatred of him, rather than a low-intensity sense of pity or contempt. <\/p>\n<p>And he still has a relative moderate affect and profile \u2014 there are limits to how woke an 80-something, silver-haired creature of the Democratic establishment can <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear, no matter how far left his policies are.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/donald-trump-8.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Biden may be heading towards a rematch of the 2020 election with former President Donald Trump.\" class=\"wp-image-24819809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/donald-trump-8.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/donald-trump-8.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/donald-trump-8.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Biden may be heading towards a rematch of the 2020 election with former President Donald Trump.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP Photo\/Andrew Harnik, File<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s no guarantee, though, that Biden will get Trump as his opponent. If he doesn\u2019t, then he\u2019ll be denied the dynamic of one old guy whose record is terrible running against another old guy who frightens people.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump can\u2019t secure the GOP nomination, everything changes. Ron DeSantis is 44 years old. Ted Cruz is 51. Mike Pompeo is 58. Tim Scott is 47. Basically, any Republican nominee besides Trump would instantly be bequeathed a powerful past-vs.-future theme (age aside, Trump will unavoidably and perhaps explicitly be running a campaign of restoration).<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s another risk for Democrats, as well \u2014 namely that Biden will experience some age-related meltdown in public during a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>-election campaign that will make his struggles undeniable even to well-wishers determined to look the other way.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/biden-harris.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"The Democrats' performance in the midterm election have only emboldened Biden's reelection plains.\" class=\"wp-image-24819806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/biden-harris.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/biden-harris.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/biden-harris.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The Democrats\u2019 performance in the midterm election have only emboldened Biden\u2019s reelection plains.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Photo by SHAWN THEW\/EPA-EFE\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Aging is a progressive condition. Biden isn\u2019t getting any younger or more capable. The good news is that, today, right now, he is as fit as he\u2019ll ever be to perform his duties; the bad news is that there are a lot of days between now and 2024 when he\u2019ll be less fit, whether by a tiny increment or by a lot.<\/p>\n<p>The public is already unsettled. According to the exit polls, 58% of voters said Biden does not have the acuity to serve effectively as president.<\/p>\n<p>If Democrats get their way, this is just the beginning. They propose to reelect a man who will be 82 years old on Inauguration Day and 86 by the end of his second term.<\/p>\n<p>The actuarial tables and the realities of aging being what they are, this creates considerable risk of putting the country through the trauma of having a president who is incapable of carrying out his full term. If you think our politics are deranged now, just wait until we face a genuine, inevitably wrenching 25th Amendment crisis or we have to deal with the legitimacy issues around an unelected president.<\/p>\n<p>Why even consider going down this route? In part, because Joe Biden made an identity-politics choice for vice president and not a good one. It is understandable that the prospect of Kamala Harris makes Democrats want to cling to their nurse for fear of something worse. But the country deserves a better idea.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>: @RichLowry<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
