Special counsel Robert Hur's report on Joe Biden's handling of classified documents ignited a political firestorm that cut directly to the heart of the president’s chief vulnerability in the 2024 election.
Biden appeared at a hastily scheduled news conference Thursday evening , apparently seeking to turn the page on what turned into a disastrous day .
His angry demeanor and an event which appeared to quickly spin out of his control may have ended up exacerbating the very questions about his age that it was meant to dispel.
Many of the attacks on Biden by Republicans by Republicans certainly reek of ageism and come across as cruel.
As Biden knows however, politics is a nasty, personal business.
Biden 's fans may also have a case that he’s being unfairly compared with Trump .
But there are huge differences in the cases of Biden and Trump — even if the nuance will be blurred.
Biden acted aggressively to try to prevent a report that lifted the threat of criminal prosecution from him but already appears to have damaged him politically because of questions about his age.
Trump meanwhile is facing four criminal trials that paradoxically appear to have benefitted him politically — at least with his loyal base which has bought into his claims that he’s a victim of political persecution.
