President Joe Biden’s latest struggle to get into an SUV has raised eyebrows and concerns about his ability to handle the rigors of the presidency. At 81, Biden is already the oldest president in U.S. history, and his advancing age is becoming a focal point as the 2024 election looms.
The video capturing Biden’s difficulty with the vehicle door has once again fueled speculation about his fitness for office. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been quick to downplay these incidents, but critics, especially Republicans, are not letting them slide. They argue that Democrats are ignoring or trivializing legitimate concerns about the President’s health and physical capabilities.

Various videos showing Biden seeming confused or frozen during important events have emerged in recent weeks, amplifying doubts about his capacity to lead effectively. From awkward moments at the D-Day commemorations to noticeable hesitancy at international summits, these instances are adding up and fueling skepticism among voters.
Polls reflect this growing unease among the public. An NBC News poll indicates that a significant majority of respondents are worried about Biden’s age and health, with even Democratic voters expressing varying degrees of concern. An ABC News poll goes further, with a staggering 86% of Americans believing Biden is simply too old for a second term.
Biden’s supporters are attempting to counter these concerns by highlighting his experience and policy accomplishments. However, as more incidents like the SUV struggle come to light, it becomes increasingly challenging for them to brush off the mounting evidence that age might indeed be catching up with the President.
