I think this the very idea that in 2024, we may have two men running against each other Biden and Trump, who would both be in their 80s if elected, that it too is enough to say, well, what are we doing here?
Sadly, you know, I think for a variety of reasons he should not. I just, I don't think either Trump or Biden should be running.
It's very, very big. Not legally, but politically, it's a very, very big deal.
If he comes out and throws cold water on this, then I don't think it goes anywhere.
