As the nation contends with two leading presidential candidates who both are long in the tooth, age, and mental acuity have never been more in focus.

If this was Biden, we’d hear no end of how he has dementia.

      I don’t think we can even blame this just on boomerism though, the average age for candidates didn’t go up a little, it went up a LOT. Obama finished his final term as President just over 6 years ago, and he is only 62 right now. Trump is 77 and Biden is 80 right now, a year out from election day. That’s not “boomers voting for boomers”. Trump is just barely a boomer at all, and Biden is solidly silent generation.
