BERLIN LIVE Donald Trump "too old": Suddenly everything has turned around Marcel Görmann • 2 hours • 2 minutes reading time New twist in the US election campaign: Suddenly the cards are being reshuffled. After the withdrawal of Joe Biden (81), there is suddenly a completely different topic in the USA. Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to run against Trump. Joe Biden backed her on Sunday and proposed her as a candidate. Now Trump is suddenly "too old" The question of age is now being discussed in a completely different way. 59-year-old Harris against 78-year-old Trump. Almost 20 years of age difference, which is also noticeable in the Republican, even if he recently seemed fitter than Biden. The oldest candidate in US history Trump and not Biden is now the oldest US presidential candidate of all time. And the first candidate with a criminal record. Two burdens on the way to the White House. Is Donald Trump too old? Trump would also be significantly older than Joe Biden now, namely 83, at the end of his term, if he were re-elected. On X, just a few hours after Biden's exit, there are now countless entries addressing age. Supporters of the Democrats are calling on the media to address the age issue in the same way as they did with Biden. Some example comments from the Internet: "I want ten million articles now about how Donald Trump's age and mental decline are a burden on the Republican Party." "Donald Trump is too old to run for president. Especially since it is unclear whether he is healthy enough to serve a four-year term." "Donald Trump would be 83 years old at the end of his term. America cannot afford such an old president." "It is time to talk about Trump's age." Young vice-candidate as a balance However, Donald Trump has already brought a man to his side who is supposed to weaken the argument of old age. He is J.D. Vance, a 39-year-old senator from Ohio. This means that a fairly young politician could step in if Trump's health no longer allows him to hold office.
