Are people being ageist about Biden?

There has been much discussion about President Joe Biden since his first election debate performance, with many questioning if he is fit to run for a second term in office. His age is a big point of discussion, and Newstalk’s Simon Tierney was writing about this in the Irish Independent saying how this shows how ageism is one of the last tolerated prejudices in society. To discuss, guest host Emmet Oliver is joined by Simon and Chairman of the Communications Clinic, Terry Prone.
