Joe Biden’s Three Major Decisions as President

Today in the Wall Street Journal, Holman Jenkins asks why Joe Biden is running for reelection. He concludes by asking, “If Mr. Trump is such a danger to America, democracy and apple pie, shouldn’t Mr. Biden be heeding voters, stepping aside and opening the door to a new generation of Democrats—albeit not represented by Adam Schiff, of course—with some class and decency, who can put up a better show against Mr. Trump?”

Before Joe Biden, the oldest president in U.S. history was Ronald Reagan, who, on his last day in office — January 20, 1989 — was 77 years and 349 days old, or almost 78. Today, Biden is 81 years and two months old.
