President Joe Biden celebrated his 81st birthday, but concerns about his age and leadership persist among his inner circle, especially with ongoing issues such as the state of the economy, border security, and his own physical health.
Critics and even close allies have expressed worries about his age and physical condition, with discussions about managing his public appearances to mitigate potential frailty.
“Even those in Biden’s inner circle, including family members, worry about the optics of age,” Politico noted.

“Those close allies believe that Biden is mentally up for the job, but some acknowledge that the president can at times appear frail, according to two people involved in the conversations but not authorized to speak publicly about internal deliberations.”
“As noted on his recent physical, Biden’s gait has stiffened following foot fractures he suffered playing with his dog in late 2020,” they wrote.
“People close to the president have discussed having him walk shorter distances while on camera.
“They’ve also advocated, at times, trading in formal shoes for more comfortable ones — both to make his stride seem less stiff, but also to reduce the risk of falls.”
Despite attempts to address these concerns, the broader issues facing the country continue to raise questions about his ability to lead effectively and govern.
