“Senior citizens, long a reliable voting bloc for Republicans, are showing signs of turning into an election-year swing group, potentially giving President Biden an unlikely boost in his tough rematch against Donald Trump.” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Americans ages 65 and older turn out at significantly higher rates than younger voters do, giving them outsize clout as they choose this year between the Democrat Biden, 81, and the Republican Trump, who turned 78 on Friday.”

“Biden’s standing among older voters has a few possible explanations: The president has been performing well among Americans who are closely monitoring the election, giving him an advantage with seniors who actively consume cable television and news coverage in their retirement. Some polling has shown seniors with more favorable views of Biden’s handling of the economy, possibly because they feel more insulated from the impacts of higher interest rates and inflation.”

1. Older voters consider themselves patriots.

Red or blue, any senior with children/grandchildren and just an ounce of common sense doesn't want the chaotic nazi back in the White House. The blue tsunami will have gray hair.

2. Exactly. Even thought we may not be around much longer, we do it for

our COUNTRY, for our CHILDREN, and for our CHILDREN'S CHILDREN.

3. Older voters remember how Presidents are supposed to act.. and

especially how they're supposed to behave if they lose an election. Ford, Carter, Bush Sr all took their losses with dignity

4. Even Seniors who have voted Republican in the past

have known that past Republican Presidents and Congress have left Social Security and Medicare alone.

Not this current crop of Congress critters and CF#45. They want to GUT these earned benefit programs all together and Joe is PRESSING that message loud and clear.
