Re: 'Biden-Trump rematch presents the case for presidential age limits,' . Michael Harris makes a good case for age limits on U.S. presidential candidates. How did they get into this situation? It is a lack of succession planning by the political parties. One of the realities about elections is the importance of name recognition. The best-known candidates are the ones most frequently elected.
This may be the most important element driving the poll numbers quoted by Harris showing the support he gets from his base, compared to the numbers that Joe Biden receives from his supporters. Switching to another candidate at this stage would be very difficult because a new candidate would not have the name recognition needed to dominate the election. The groundwork to build the name of a successor should have been started years ago. This is a failure of planning by party management.
