Having successfully ousted President Joe Biden as the nominee via a textbook coup, Democrats have already turned their energy back toward taking down their Republican opponent, Donald Trump. And with Biden out of the race, the media and their left-wing allies have decided that age suddenly matters once again.
Corporate media were already dishonestly peddling the narrative that Trump’s age was just as much of a concern, if not more of one, than Biden’s. Just a few weeks ago, The Washington Post ran a piece on Trump’s birthday headlined “Donald Trump, potential future oldest president, turns 78.” It was a hard sell given that, should Trump win a second term, he would be 82 upon leaving office — the age Biden will turn this year.
But after Biden dropped out of the race with no explanation, the media began regurgitating the talking point at full throttle.
“Trump is now the oldest nominee that we’ve ever seen in U.S. presidential history,” CNN’s Kaitlan Collins said.
“[Kamala Harris is] running against the oldest nominee for president of the United States in American history,” Bakari Sellers said on CNN. “I mean, the man is nearly 80 years old, and so the question is, can he serve another four years? I’m not sure he can.”
Sellers also posted on X that Trump is the “oldest nominee in American political history,” which was then reposted by left-wing agitator Elie Mystal.
Axios blared that “Biden’s exit makes Trump the oldest nominee in U.S. history.”
