Has announced he will run for a further term. I like him but have doubts about his mental capacity. I would rather see a younger Democrat running.

Apparently, historically, American Presidents have not attended coronations. They send an envoy instead. This does not mean that they have slighted the Monarchy.

As for being confused, do we not all make mistakes sometimes? I'd rather have Biden as America's president than the previous incumbent.

I do agree though that, surely, there must be younger candidates that could be invited to stand.

Recent clips of President Biden haven’t filled me with confidence about his ability to lead the free world, and certainly not his ability to beat Donald Trump in an election.

It's hard to judge given all the spin but I'm surprised the Democrats (and the Republicans) can't find middle aged candidates to run.

My OH is the same age as Biden.

Fortunately I have dissuaded him for running to be president of the USA.
