People Are Calling Out Double Standards In The Republican Party Now That Donald Trump Is The Oldest Major Presidential Nominee In History

" So now that Trump is the oldest soul running for President — is that go to be the top news storey from the medium for the next several month ? Or no ? " — @notcapnamerica

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, but this weekend,President Joe Biden announced that he won’t be seeking reelectionand subsequently dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.

Before dropping, Biden — the presumptive Democratic nominee — faced heavy criticism about his age and perceived cognitive abilities. His opponent, Donald Trump, evenchallengedhim to “take a cognitive test” as an apparent way to prove whether Biden was fit to run the country.

Ironically , Trumpconfusedthe name of the someone who administered his own test in his next judgment of conviction .

Concerns around Biden’s age came from both sides, but perhaps none louder than red voters. In a poll conducted bythe Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 89% of Republicans surveyed said that Biden was too old for a second term.

So, when Biden endorsed 59-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential nominee for the Democratic party, there left one obvious head-scratcher…

…78-year-old Donald Trump, who, if elected, would exceed Biden’s age while in office.

In fact, as it stands,Trump is now the oldest person to be nominated for president by a major party in US history— which is leading many to call out a perceived double standard when it comes to conservative complaints around Biden’s age. Here’s what people are saying:

Now that Trump is officially the oldest presidential candidate ever , I expect the media to spend weeks focusing on his geezerhood and his mental capacitance .

Wow , Republicans are running a 78 - year - old convicted felon for president . Yikes !

So now that Trump is the oldest person running for President — is that going to be the top news story from the medium for the next several month ? Or no ?
