At 80, Mr. Biden has served his country well for more than 50 years, but you’ve got to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. The president has a month or so within which he can reasonably decide to pass the torch to a younger generation; if he decides not to do so, we might soon be singing, “Turn out the lights, the party’s over.”

David Ignatius raised a legitimate question about President Biden’s electability — less so about his competence — but failed to explain who an alternative candidate can be and how that can be decided at this very late date.
For this to be a constructive suggestion, rather than just fuel for the GOP/Trump campaign, we need to know more precisely what process, and which candidates, would even be feasible with so little time left to build and sell such an unprecedented, desperate, last-minute national reset. Mr. Ignatius’s solution holds more risks than the “problem.”
I couldn’t disagree more with David Ignatius’s belief that President Biden should not seek reelection — and not because I am also an older person who is sensitive to people being written off because of age, but because Mr. Biden’s fantastic accomplishments in just two years make him the right person to run again.
