McConnell stared ahead for about 30 seconds while taking questions from reporters last Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>In late July, the 81-year-old senator similarly froze for about 20 seconds during his weekly press conference at the Capitol, before being escorted away.<\/p>\n<p>While there is not massive age gap between Biden and Trump \u2014 currently 80 years old and 77 years old, respectively \u2014 Silver noted that their age difference is \u201cpotentially meaningful,\u201d pointing to population-level data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe age of Biden and Trump during their potential second terms corresponds to [the] infection point at which the risk of death begins to increase meaningfully every year,\u201d Silver wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo again, if voters are diagnosing the candidates just based on population-level data \u2014 or perhaps based on their personal experience of being around aging parents and relatives \u2014 it\u2019s hardly crazy for them to think the age gap between Biden and Trump is relevant,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
