Harry Reid Laments ‘Old-Folks Home’ Options for 2020 Dems

Warren, Bernie, and Biden all too old, he said.

According to Harry Reid, the likely crop of potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidates looks more like a home for the elderly. Unsure whether he’d support a Biden challenge against Donald Trump, the outgoing Senate minority leader reportedly told an aide, “It depends on who’s running,” according to a New York magazine profile. “We’ve got [Elizabeth] Warren; she’ll be 71. Biden will be 78. Bernie [Sanders] will be 79,” the retiring pol reportedly lamented. “It appears we’re going to have an old-folks’ home,” he quipped. Vice President Joe Biden teased reporters this month that he will run in 2020, later saying he has “no plans” to do so.
