Description
Joe Biden is 80 and his main Republican rival Donald Trump is 77. Opponents of each are ready to use their ages against them – but will this debate matter come 2024? Writer for Vanity Fair and host of the Fast Politics podcast, Molly Jong-Fast says the age argument is a classic GOP tactic, but questions how well it will work. She joins Gavin Esler in the Bunker.
- “One of the things we’re not talking about enough is the power of incumbency.” – Molly Jong-Fast.
- “I don’t think Biden would’ve run again if he didn’t know he was the person most likely to win.” – Molly Jong-Fast.
- “This could be the last ever American election – can you see Trump ever leaving?” –Molly Jong-Fast.
