Let’s look at oldest mainline Presidential nominees in history:
- Biden - 2024 (81)
- Trump - 2024 (78)
- Biden - 2020 (77)
- Trump - 2020 (74)
- Reagan - 1984 (73)
- Trump - 2016 (70)
- Reagan - 1980 (69)
Next President who was elected was William Henry Harrison, but we’re getting “young” enough there may be unelected nominees I’m not aware of.
Also: fun fact. Jimmy Carter’s post-presidency lifespan has been over 43 years so far, while Teddy Roosevelt was only 42 when elected Predident.
Yes, but the wrong group is clinging to guns.
Democrats act all high-mined in their rejection of political violence and distaste for guns, but in opposing gun ownership they’ve allowed their opposition that’s just fine with political violence to own all the guns.
