From the 2020 Election results: "...voters under 30 favoring Joe Biden by 24 percentage points (Biden 59%, Trump 35%). Perhaps reflecting the enduring impact of this long-term age gap, voters ages 30 to 49 were also solidly in the Democratic candidate’s camp in 2020, favoring Biden by 12 points (55%-43%)" From a poll a few days ago that was posted earlier (no idea if this poll was conducted by Political Polls or someone else, they don't say): I've said before, there is a significant difference between giving your opinion on a poll...which is easy to do and effects nothing, and giving your vote in an election...which can be time-consuming and effects everything. I don't believe for a nanosecond that Biden's support among 18-34 year olds nosedived by 21 points, and that it did due to his age lol... To me, poll watching is like over-analyzing every single pass thrown by a rookie QB during his first training camp...and then reaching conclusions about the rookie's chances in the NFL after each throw.

And not just a dead loved one, but a murdered loved one. And I'm wondering whose idea was it to get Trump's signature on the photo...did they ask him to sign it, or did he just sign it on his own like some obtuse B-grade celebrity who thinks anyone who puts anything within arm's reach of them for any reason, is a sign they want an autograph lol...

What Hur wrote, that she felt he should correct: "He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died." Not even slightly accurate. Accurate would be: "While President Biden recalled the month and day his son Beau died, White House attorneys provided the year." From the transcripts and reports: HUR: "So during this time when you were living at Chain Bridge Rd & there were docs relating to the Penn Biden Center, or the Biden Inst, or the Cancer Moonshot, or your book, where did you keep papers that related to those things that you were actively working on?" BIDEN: "I don't know. This is, what, 2017, 2018, that area?" Hur: "Yes, sir." Biden: "Remember, in this time frame, my son is either been deployed or is dying." (then much later) "And so, what was happening though--what month did Beau die? Oh God, May 30th--" White House Lawyer: "2015" Person 2: "2015" Biden: "Was it 2015 he had died?" Person 2: "It was May of 2015." Biden: "It was 2015." Biden's personal lawyer: "I'm not sure of the month, sir, but I think it was 2015." *********** The way Hur wrote it, though, it came across as if Biden just drew a complete blank when it came to remembering his son's death. Not to mention, Biden never attempted to give a year for Beau's death...the closest he came to doing so was to say if was during a time frame when he was "actively working on" a number of papers. Guess what--he very easily could have been working on those papers while still Vice President. So Biden's comment about his son either being deployed or dying "in this time frame" isn't referencing a specific year...and when his attorney's chimed in with the year, it wasn't because Biden asked them which year it was or was drawing a blank, they just let him know the year. But as I and numerous others have already mentioned, 1) not remembering the specific year of a loved one's passing means absolutely nothing...Hur, though, made it mean far more than he should have...and 2) saying "Was it 2015?" also means absolutely nothing, as tshile perfectly pointed out. It's just how human beings talk, it's not a sign that Biden's mentally confused. Hur's description of that interaction with Biden was unnecessarily negative and completely ignores the reality for a large part of the population when it comes to things like remembering the year a loved one passed away. What Hur wrote is far more a reflection of his own perspectives about Biden than a tell-tale sign of Biden's memory.
