OMG after watching HRC on CNN... We HAVE to get her elected

99. She would turn 85yo in her first term if she ran and won in 2028. And no, 80 is not the new 60.

If Biden wins in 2024, we will have had 36 non stop years of Boomer (plus the even older Biden, who missed being a Boomer by around 3 years) Presidents. If Harris (another Boomer) runs and wins 2 terms starting in 2028, that would make 44 straight years. Some Gen Xers would be in their 70's before they saw a post Boomer POTUS if that plays out, some even approaching 80(!) if another Boomer won in 2036 and 2040 (easily possible under your '80 is the new 60' maxim). No single generation (plus an even older one in the middle) should hold POTUS power for that long.

Even 60 (let alone 70 or 80) is outside the norm for American first term POTUS's age at election age. Biden is an extreme outlier. If Harris had won in 2020 (not 2024, not 2028, I am talking 2020), only 3 Democrats in the almost 200 year history of our Party would have been older than Harris was (had she been sworn in), when they were first elected or first sworn in due to a POTUS death: Truman after FDR died in 1945 (LBJ was younger in 1963 when JFK was assassinated than Harris would have been had she won in 2020), then all the way back to James Buchanan in 1856, and finally, the very first Dem POTUS, Andrew Jackson, in 1828.
