David Rothkopf : Joe Biden's age is getting to be like the weather, but nobody does anything about it.

A Washington Post column by David Ignatius says Biden should not run again in 2024 .

He says the age issue is (as he writes) not “just a Fox News trope.” But while prominent opinion leaders are normalizing the idea, it is not being embraced by Democratic politicians who could make it happen.

Barring some unforeseen event, it's going to be a death match between the old guy and the evil guy.

People rooting for Biden can only hope he can run out the clock.

Or maybe he will end up like veteran New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers , splayed out on the turf with a season-ending injury.
