Announcing he would serve one term would make him a lame duck president before the first vote is cast.

The American people will have to decide if his age disqualifies him or not. If they think so, then there are 19 other candidates to choose from.

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