Sanders unequivocally declined the proposal for Biden to undergo a cognitive assessment, contending that the establishment of such standards could potentially pave the way for an assortment of supplementary prerequisites that candidates ought to fulfill. "No. Sanders stated, "Once you enter that industry, we require all of these criteria because you cannot run for president until you meet them." "Today it's age; tomorrow it will be this; tomorrow it will be that." "Such is the nature of a democracy."
Joe Biden, who is 81 years old, is the oldest incumbent president in the history of the United States. If reelected, he would reach the extraordinary age of 86 by the conclusion of his second term. Sanders appears to hold the view that Biden's mental acuity ought not to influence voters' decision-making, notwithstanding his prodigious mistakes and propensity for neglect. "For whatever reason, do not vote for him if you do not like him," Sanders advised. "However, I believe that should not be one of your criteria."
While providing Biden with unsolicited advice, Bernie Sanders reportedly considers the possibility of re-election to the Senate for a fourth term. Sanders has reportedly amassed $535,000 in campaign funds, despite the fact that he has not yet formally declared his candidacy for reelection. This information is contained in his campaign finance report. This figure is even more remarkable in light of the fact that Sanders, who is a Republican from Iowa, is the second-oldest sitting senator, falling only behind Sen. Chuck Grassley (90 years old).
In keeping with Sanders and Grassley, Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell (R) also ranks among the oldest at 81 years of age. Recently, by proclaiming his intention to resign as the leader of the Senate Republicans, McConnell sowed the seeds of speculation regarding his future in Congress. It is evident that these seasoned politicians regard age as inconsequential, as the political landscape continues to transform, regardless of whether they are expressing viewpoints on cognitive assessments or navigating the corridors of power.
