👴🏼🇺🇸 US leaders are aging with no replacement in sight amid unbreakable political gridlock, experts told Sputnik
A recent poll conducted by a US media outlet revealed 75% of Americans are concerned about US President Joe Biden’s age and mental competence, while 67% of Democrats do not want him to run again.
Constitutional historian Dan Lazare suggested these developments are part of a generational illness afflicting an out-of-touch US governing elite that stayed too long in power.
As a remedy to the situation, California State University Professor Emeritus of Political Science Beau Grosscup said the United States urgently needed to pass age limits for top public officials.
