Republicans want someone younger than Donald Trump as president: new poll
newsweek.com

In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.

Isn't this consistent with when it was Trump/Biden? I seem to remember both sides saying they wanted a younger candidate.

Or it could be they think Trump is younger than he actually is...

This is it

I bet half the respondents didn't realize Trump is over 75yrs

I imagine it’s like those people Jordan Klepper interviews at Trump rallies that go like this:

Jordan: Do you think a candidate who’s almost 80 is too old?

Person: Yeah.

J: …and Trump is 78.

Person: Yeah.

J: So he’s too old and someone younger would be better.

Person: For sure.

J: So who do you want for president?

Person: I’m voting Trump.

According to his nft's he looks to be in the early 40s, with a body like a greek god.

The latter wouldn't shock me, but I don't remember anything but the majority of Republicans saying they wanted anyone but Trump. I admit I don't have the world's best memory, so feel free anyone to show me wrong here.

They definitely have not looked up how old he is, so I’m going with the latter and they thought this was a dig at Biden.
