‘Two men three years apart’: Democrats highlight Trump’s mental lapses after Biden report

Trump faces less scrutiny over his age than his contemporary does. Biden's challenge is to change that

The special counsel Robert Hur's contention that Joe Biden suffers from memory problems caused by advanced age prompted delight among the president's Republican opponents - and pushback from Democrats pointing out how often Donald Trump has his own lapses, and how dangerous they are to the country.

Speaking on MSNBC amid shockwaves from the release of Hur's report on Biden's retention of classified information after his time as a senator and as vice-president, Jen Psaki, Biden's first White House press secretary, emphasised: The choice in all likelihood here is going to be between two men who are three years apart."
