LAST Thursday, the campaign to re-elect incumbent US president Joe Biden received a devastating slash across the Achilles’ heel. President Joe Biden, a special counsel report said, would not be criminally prosecuted for “willfully retaining” and improperly sharing classified materials from the Obama era at his home.
The reason? The case would not be winnable because Biden would come across to a jury “as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” the report concluded.
Even before Biden’s backing of Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza eroded his support on the left, his greatest vulnerability was always the perception that, at 81, he was simply too old — and possibly too forgetful — to serve a second term as US president. It’s a theme that has already been pounced on by Biden’s lead Republican opponent for the presidency, Donald Trump.
