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.

Was Biden not stubbornly refusing to step down for so long, until his party forced his hand? I think Democrats wanted someone younger than him in 2020 too. I think we’re giving Biden too much credit here.

You can bet that at least the last week of that was a matter of keeping up appearances. The transition went smoother than it had any right to, and that doesn't happen without a lot of behind the scenes planning.

Must’ve been a supervetted group who knew anything if reports are true some close aides were told minutes before the official announcement.
