Biden’s age raises concern among Democrats

Published

As President Joe Biden, at 81 years old, gears up for a potential reelection bid, criticism regarding his age has emerged from both Republicans and Democrats.

The debate over Biden’s ability to effectively serve another term echoes concerns raised during the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s tenure on the Supreme Court.

Age issue

Amid preparations for the upcoming presidential election, voices from across the political spectrum have raised doubts about Biden’s fitness for office due to his age.

Critics, including figures typically aligned with the Democratic Party, such as comedian Jon Stewart and journalist Ezra Klein, have expressed concerns about Biden’s capacity to sustain the vigor required for a presidential campaign, particularly in a potentially contentious rematch against former President Donald Trump.

Some within the Democratic camp fear that Biden’s insistence on seeking reelection could jeopardize the party’s chances in the upcoming election. They argue that clinging to power at his age may not only undermine the Democrats’ electoral prospects but could also impede the party’s ability to address pressing issues effectively.

The debate surrounding Biden’s age evokes memories of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s tenure on the Supreme Court.

Despite facing health challenges in her later years, Ginsburg, a liberal icon, steadfastly refused to step down during the Obama administration, sparking intense speculation and debate.

Ultimately, Ginsburg’s decision to remain on the bench until her passing had significant implications for the court’s ideological balance and the subsequent appointment of her successor.

Balancing Act

For Biden, the challenge lies in navigating the delicate balance between personal ambition and party interests.

While some view his determination to seek reelection as a testament to his commitment to public service, others worry that his decision could prove detrimental to the Democratic Party’s electoral fortunes.

Multiple Australia-Bali flights cancelled as Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki erupts again, disrupting travel for the second time in two months.

In Short:
International flights between Australia and Bali have been cancelled again due to the recent eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in Indonesia. This marks the second eruption in two months.

Multiple return international flights between Australia and Bali have faced cancellations following the recent eruption of Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcano. It marks the second time in as many months that volcanic activity has disrupted travel plans for passengers heading to the popular tourist destination.

Observations from drones showed lava filling the crater, indicating deep movement of magma that set off volcanic earthquakes.

“An eruption of that size certainly carries a higher potential for danger, including its impact on aviation,” Mr Wafid told The Associated Press.

“We shall re-evaluate to enlarge its danger zone that must be cleared of villagers and tourist activities.”

Flight delays

“Some Virgin Australia Bali services have been cancelled following the eruption of Mount Lewotobi earlier today,” a Virgin Australia spokesperson said.

“The safety of our guests and crew is our highest priority and our team of expert meteorologists are closely monitoring the situation and ash cloud activity.

“We regret the impact of this on guests’ travel plans and encourage guests travelling to or from Bali to closely monitor their flight status via the Virgin Australia website or app.”

Qantas flights QF43 from Sydney and QF45 from Melbourne to Denpasar, Bali have been delayed.

Bali, known for its stunning landscapes and cultural attractions, relies heavily on international tourism, particularly from Australia. With flight cancellations, many are left scrambling to adjust their itineraries or seek alternative destinations. The situation has put a spotlight on the challenges that natural events can pose to the tourism sector.

Authorities in Indonesia are working to assess the situation and manage the impact of the volcano’s activity. Updates on travel advisories and safety measures are expected to be communicated to the public as conditions evolve.
