Biden faces no shortage of obstacles. His approval ratings hover in the low 40s. Republicans think he’s an “easy target” to unite around. And while Biden isn’t expected to face a serious primary challenge, people have concerns about his age. Biden, who at 80 is already the oldest person to serve as U.S. president, would be 86 at the end of a second term. His entry also comes as former president Donald Trump, who is 76, continues to lead the Republican primary field, though that contest is far from settled. Biden has declared his predecessor an existential threat to the republic and his advisors contend that any Republican who makes it out of the primary — whether it’s Trump or someone else — is likely to have adopted or at least embraced Trump’s MAGA movement that Dems view as extreme and unappealing to average voters.
