Biden's rough week highlights his biggest vulnerability — one he can't change
When President Biden is the focus and not Donald Trump, it's generally not a good thing for the president and his reelection prospects.
That's because, like Trump, Biden has glaring vulnerabilities. His biggest one was front and center this week: concerns about his age.

That was stinging.
