Joe Biden's Age Will Be a 'Major Issue' If He Runs Again in 2024 - Ex-Obama Adviser

A former adviser for Ex-President Barack Obama said that President Joe Biden's age will be a "major issue" if he decides to run again in 2024.

Former Obama Adviser David Axelrod told The New York Times that the presidency is the "most taxing job" and explained that Biden will be close to 90 than 80 at the end of the second term.

Axelrod also explained that Biden's appearance is not like before, and it has affected his image as the president of the U.S.

"He looks his age and isn't as agile in front of a camera as he once was, and this has fed a narrative about competence that isn't rooted in reality," Axelrod said.

It can be recalled that President Joe Biden has faced months of low approval ratings, which reached an all-time low of 59 percent disapproval in a Morning Consult poll in the previous week.

President Joe Biden will be 81 years old in November.

AOC Refuse to Say If She Supports Joe Biden in '24 Presidency Bid

On Sunday, New York Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) refused to say whether she will support President Joe Biden in his 2024 reelection bid.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it," AOC said in an interview with CNN's "State of the Nation, per New York Post.

However, host Dana Bash pushed back that AOC's response was not a "yes."

"Yes, I think we should endorse when we get to it," AOC reiterated. The New York representative then pointed out that she believed Biden has been doing a "very good job" so far, and she will take a look at it once he runs again for president.

AOC also underscored that Biden has a vision that they are all willing to "entertain and examine" when the time comes.

Joe Biden on Running for President in 2024

According to reports, Biden has already told his political allies that he will run for president again in 2024. Sources familiar with the matter claim that the president is letting everyone know about his desire.

In April, two sources confirmed to The Hill that Biden told Obama about his reelection plans.

An insider also noted that the president is confident that he is the only one in the Democratic Party who can beat former President Donald Trump.

President Joe Biden also announced in a press conference in Brussels in March that he will be "very fortunate" to run against his rival in the 2020 presidential elections.

Biden and Obama had lunch together earlier in April. However, it was unclear when the 2022 reelection plans were discussed by the two.

Meanwhile, Democratic strategist Jim Manly said that he still expects Biden to run again for president in 2024.

"I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't a bunch of Democrats and their staffers watching very carefully as the weeks and months go by," Manly added.
