That’s the age gap between President Biden and his likely challenger this November, ex-President Trump. A story on the front page of The New York Times Sunday notes different voter reaction when Biden makes a gaffe, such as confusing world leaders, versus Trump making similar gaffes. 

A New York Times/Siena College poll of six battleground states found that 70% said Biden, 81, is “too old to be president,” while “Fewer than half of voters have expressed similar misgivings about Mr. Trump.” The former president is 77.

What are your thoughts on special counsel Robert K. Hur’s report on Biden’s classified documents case that described the president as a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory”? (Hur concluded that no charges should be filed in the case.)

We also are especially interested in your comments on Trump’s isolationist position on the Ukraine-Russian war and the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ rejection of Trump’s immunity claim in the federal case accusing him of plotting to overturn the 2020 election (see “History Lesson” by pundit-at-large Stephan Macaulay, in the right column).
