#JimmyCarter, who'll be 95 Oct 1, questions whether he could have handled the presidency at 80.
"I hope there's an age limit," Carter said, without mentioning the names of Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, both of whom will be nearly 80 on Inauguration Day.

Biden & Bernie would be in their mid-80s in 2024, making re-election questionable. Some Democrats have suggested a one-term presidency for both, but Carter can speak to the perils of that, also.
Conversely, Elizabeth Warren would be the age they are now at the end of two terms.

#JimmyCarter, who was building houses at 93 and will be 95 on Oct. 1: "I hope there's an age limit [on the presidency]. If I were just 80 years old, if I were 15 years younger, I don't believe I could undertake the duties that I experienced when I was president."
