Biden's Age Divides the Nation as the White House Takes Protective Measures

President Biden's staff limits his public appearances and access to the press to avoid overtaxing or embarrassing an aging commander-in-chief.
Polls show Americans are concerned about Biden's age and mental fitness, though others believe his experience brings wisdom.
Biden remains sharp and fit but shows signs of slowed speech and movement, occasional memory lapses, and a tendency to misspeak.
The Biden administration denies that age has forced any major changes, but takes precautions to avoid physically taxing the oldest US president.
While Trump faced fewer questions about age, his erratic behavior and trouble with facts raised issues beyond chronological years.
