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.

    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.

      Those generations are completely made up and there is little difference in someone born in 1964 vs 1965.

        Sure, but as long as those labels exist, it would still have been nice to be able to apply a new label to the President, instead of using that same old one again.

          Here’s the fun part, you can apply whatever label you find useful. Go bananas.

        Feel free to lobby for the definition of Boomer to be adjusted.
