Some Democrats openly opposing a Biden reelection bid, courtesy of the NY Times

Upon Biden's second inauguration he would be 82 years old and he's starting to get verbal challenges from friendly news outlets as well as his own party.

Howard Kurtz currently serves as host of FOX News Channel's (FNC) MediaBuzz (Sundays 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET). Based in Washington, D.C., he joined the network in July 2013 and debuted on Special Report with Bret Baier to discuss the media's coverage of the George Zimmerman murder trial.

All this has been the subject of chatter in media and political circles and at the office water cooler (to the extent that people still go to offices). But the significance of the Times piece is that now it’s officially kosher to challenge the idea of Biden running for reelection – and that’s coming from his own party.

"To nearly all the Democrats interviewed, the president’s age — 79 now, 82 by the time the winner of the 2024 election is inaugurated — is a deep concern about his political viability. They have watched as a commander in chief who built a reputation for gaffes has repeatedly rattled global diplomacy with unexpected remarks that were later walked back by his White House staff, and as he has sat for fewer interviews than any of his recent predecessors." An important point, in my view, because Biden’s surrender of the media megaphone – except to chat up Jimmy Kimmel – means he’s always playing catchup rather than driving the news agenda.
