I remember as a kid thinking how young JFK was at 42 years old. Then thinking how old Reagan was when he ran at 69 years old. And now Biden at 81! Yikes!
As I watched this good man summoning all the power of his will against the weakening of his body, two Broadway songs came to mind. One from the musical Evita:
But on the other hand, she’s slowing down
She’s lost a little of that magic drive.
But I would not advise those critics present to derive
Any satisfaction from her fading star.
She’s the one who’s kept us where we are.
And the other from Hamilton:
If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on
It outlives me when I’m gone.
If Biden loses to Trump, the nation Biden believed in does not outlive him.

Congress could use you in the fold. Hop to it!
