McConnell’s freezes complicate Republican attacks on Biden’s age

McConnell and Biden have an unlikely friendship despite being in opposing parties. Republicans attack Biden's health but avoid criticizing McConnell's recent health incidents.

Polls show voters have major concerns about Biden's mental fitness and age heading into 2024. Some Republicans say there's a double standard in criticizing Biden but not McConnell.

McConnell says he plans to finish his Senate term despite recent concerning health episodes. Other aging leaders like Feinstein and Pelosi have faced pressure to resign.

Biden called McConnell after his recent health scare, showing compassion some say. But others argue leaders' ages raise risks and fresh blood would benefit both parties.

Some Republicans dismiss claims of hypocrisy, saying Biden seems confused while McConnell is sharp. Others say health concerns should apply regardless of party.
