I swear this is not concern trolling but is anyone else [View all]

noticing how old Joe Biden is looking? I love him and would love to vote for him and 100% know he would be so much better than Trump, but last night my husband commented how old he looked in his twitter video and I don't know if its the power of suggestion but that was my first thought seeing him just now.
Maybe it is our own age? My husband and I are late 30s, early 40.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
