    The good news: This is going to be an exciting election. The bad news: This is going to be an exciting election.
  • Workers face age discrimination after 40, while politicians stay in forever.

    Is this really a surprise? The man’s health is failing him. The only issue is he has hurt his party by not stating he is stepping down sooner as it’s left any other candidate less time to run for president.

    I just paid $950 for one month of prescription meds ! Does that sound affordable to anyone ?

    Why work in your 80's. Enjoy retirement and all your money. Relax, no job stress. I'm not working in my 80's.

    The US seriously needs to put an age cap on people running for political office.

    There is ZERO chance that he actually wrote that letter.
  • I was in a job interview. It was in a room with only myself and the interviewer. After a few moments of conversation the guy said that he felt that I was too old for the position because the work was "high energy," I was 55 years old at the time. I was angry. But after a few moments of thinking I realized that I probably dodged a bad situation. I am now a Network Administrator - oh, and I am 73 years young. Joe did what was right. It stinks. But the reality is that it isn't what I think, or what Democrats think, or even what Donald Trump might think. The most important person in this election is what the voter thinks when they enter the polling booth in November. BOTH parties had better grab onto that concept. Peace to all.

    All I had to do was tell my dad that he was too frail to drive, but it was a brutal and heart-rending thing to do. There should be no reproaches for anyone involved in this process.

    Plot Twist: he gaffes up and accidentally pulls out of the presidential race.

    Biden: my boss told me to drop out.

    Finally, he can actually get some sleep
  • @patriciaa4451
    He should not have sought re-election in the first place.

    Aren’t there any younger people who is qualified to run the country?
  • @TEAMMAURICE
    Good they removed him, it was getting cruel to let him carry on
  • @SERGIO-cr6uy
    i don't like nor dislike him but he's clearly too old for the job.
  • @robertmariano
    Thank you BBC for reading from a primary source. All of the American media report the headline and jump into analysis
  • @jonjoe9232
    He never said that.. It was said for him.
