“I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” Biden wrote in the letter, obtained by CNN. Any weakening of resolve or lack of clarity about the task ahead only helps Trump and hurts us,” Biden concluded. More than a handful of top House Democrats told Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday that Biden needs to step aside amid concerns about down-ballot Democratic races. Biden offered a confusing response to a question about his letter to Hill Democrats calling for unity and lambasted Trump for being on the golf course after the debate.

Democrats' top three US House leaders now average more than 82 years old. With House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announcing they'll leave Democratic leadership in 2023 — although remain in Congress — the average age of Democrats' expected top three leaders will drop by 31 years. Presumptive Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York is 52, presumptive House Minority Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts is 59, and presumptive Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar of California is 43. The current top Democratic leaders — Pelosi, Hoyer, and Rep. James Clyburn — are 82, 83, and 82, respectively. And Clyburn said he will "look forward" to "doing whatever I can to assist our new generation of Democratic leaders which I hope to be Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, and Pete Aguilar."
"Pod Save America" co-host Jon Lovett joked with Obama about the age of the nation's leaders. Lovett quipped whether the next generation of leadership Obama talks about was "The Silent Generation. "Did you intend on that to be the Silent Generation?" One possible explanation is that as president, Obama presided over two disastrous midterms for his party that greatly depleted Democrat's bench to draw on for bigger races. Now, with his former vice president in the Oval Office, the 44th president said he can focus on the next generation of leaders.

People scoffed at the glowing hourlong media conference that President Donald Trump's White House doctor gave about his health. Reagan publicly announced he had Alzheimer's disease five years after he left the White House. Francis Shen, who teaches psychiatry at Harvard Medical School's Center for Bioethics, would like to see information about political leaders' cognitive health made public. Cognitive health should be no different, he said, because it also might affect the way presidents and members of Congress make important decisions.
