STORY – In view of his repeated missteps and blunders, his own camp is wondering about a second term for the oldest American president.

His repeated falls, his diction problems and his frequent slips have long been highlighted by the Republican media to present Joe Biden as a senile old man who has become a toy in the hands of his advisers. But the subject of the age of the American president is now openly broached by the Democratic media, where it has until now been taboo.
The question was even asked last Sunday on the front page of the New York Times. In an article titled “At 79, Biden is testing the limits of age and the presidency”, the daily reveals that Joe Biden’s tour in the Middle East, initially scheduled as an extension of his trip to Europe at the beginning of the month, would have finally taken place separately for fear that too long a trip would tire the president. The newspaper also details the many signs that Joe Biden is not only no longer in his prime, but has long passed middle age.
