    Good god, he’s THAT old?

    Also, Harris is 59?

    Why are all the candidates at or way beyond retirement age?

      In what paradise do you live where you can retire at 59? Even if Harris serves two terms she would only be 67, which is exactly at retirement age.

        You can withdraw from 401k penalty free at 59 and 1/2 years old. That’s what this is probably referring to. Regardless there’s still a massive age difference between her and Biden/Trump.

          You argued shes too old and I argued that she is not that old. Look at all the prior experience she has, and 59 to 67 is far from an age where you can talk about cogintive or physical decline.
