A historic election campaign It was President Joe Biden who ran for re-election for the Democrats earlier this year. Many then asked questions about whether the 81-year-old president was not too old, and whether he was even capable of being president of the United States for another four years. Although there were many critics, the Democrats did not want to rally behind a new candidate. The discussions continued.
