Donald Trump is now the oldest party nominee for president in US history
Joe Biden's age was his biggest liability — now Democrats can flip the script on arguments that Biden was too old to lead and apply them to Trump.
- At 78 years old, former President Donald Trump is now the oldest nominee running for president.
- Joe Biden, 81, dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, 59.
- If she becomes the Democratic nominee, Harris' age could be an advantage against Trump.
You're viewing a single thread.
What I find most mad is that Kamala Harris is nearing retirement age for many industries - yet compared to many in her line of work she seems like she's in her thirties and has a whole new career ahead of her.
Remember back in 2001 when everyone freaked out at Cheney's age? He was 60. Our "young" potential candidate is 59.
We came within 1 year of having the first ever Gen X major party nominee (and immediately after the first ever Silent Generation president). But, she's a yet another boomer by 1 year.
She was 13 when Star Wars came out. She's no Boomer.
Feel free to lobby for the definition of Boomer to be adjusted.
