In the weeks since Biden's disastrous performance in the presidential debate, a steady drip of high-profile supporters – everyone from members of Congress, to big donors like George Clooney – has urged him to step aside.
They're worried he's too old for a second term, and too vulnerable to losing to Trump.
President Biden rejects those calls. He believes he can withstand a bruising campaign, win re-election, and lead the country for four more years.
Last fall, Consider This host Scott Detrow traveled to western Pennsylvania — a key swing state — where he gathered a group of voters all around the same age as Biden and Trump, to talk about how they viewed age in the race.
This week, Detrow checked back in with some of them to see if recent events have changed how this group of key voters are thinking about President Biden.
