Democrats have been concerned with his age, it was being taken seriously, hence the calls for him to pass the torch. I think his age was being taken seriously. While he was the presumptive nominee, he would have had my vote because I believe Trump should never ever be allowed to serve again. I’ve said I’d have voted for a dead frog before I’d vote for Trump and that wasn’t a joke.
I don’t think it’s hypocrisy to support the candidate you have been given, until he isn’t the candidate any longer.
I do see your point; I believe that it is the perception of many outside the Democrat party.
I really like him, but I think she’d do much better naming a younger VP. He is exceptionally qualified, but he’s probably going to quell some of the enthusiasm young voters are showing for Harris.
