Age and Rational Generational Thought in Joe Biden

Ever since he declared his intention to run for president, numerous individuals have expressed and will likely continue to express apprehensions regarding Joe Biden's advanced age. There is contention that his age renders him unfit to pursue the presidency. It is biased to believe that age renders a person ineligible for any role, including President of the United States. Being in your 80s does not necessarily indicate a lack of ability to manage responsibilities. I will defer to your judgment in determining Biden's mental capacity, but the matter of his age prompts me to contemplate the definition of generations.
