Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Mitchell: Is It Even Fair to Ask Joe Biden to Serve for Another 4 Years?

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: “And just for practical purposes, when you‘re talking about perhaps having to deal with something of a foreign ally or a foreign adversary in different time zones, you‘re talking about Congress with an emergency late at night or early in the morning, just the everyday demands, the information coming at you, the need to review briefings and to attend fundraisers and events, you know, this is a job that is very demanding and it ages — it has aged the men who have served in the role. We look at Barack Obama, who was a relatively young president, and the way he looked in 2008, much different than the way he looked in 2016 when he left the job. It does age you, it‘s a demanding job. And I think the current conversation is, is it even fair to ask Joe Biden to do this for another four years, and is it practical to think he can do the job for another four years? And ultimately, that‘s a decision for Joe Biden to make. Nobody right now is even indicating they will make that decision for him. But I think when he makes comments like this, it concerns people that maybe he should be thinking about whether it‘s time to say, 'I‘ve done what I have been able to do in one term, and now it‘s time to pass it onto another person.'"
