DEMS/ELECTION/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump on Friday [4-26-19] called himself ‘a young, vibrant man,’ taking a dig at Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, who eclipse him in age by a few years…The 72-year-old president has said he anticipates taking on one of the two Democratic front-runners in the 2020 general election — Biden, who is 76, or Sanders, who is 77…All three white male septuagenarians, however, will likely appeal to overlapping segments of voters, competing to win over the blue-collar workers and other blocs that helped secure Trump’s victory in 2016. Trump hedged his comments on age, perhaps accounting for the possibility he faces off against one of the younger, more diverse candidates Biden and Sanders are battling for their party’s nomination.”
