Biden is two years older than Trump. Trump is 20 years older than Harris. You are completely sidestepping the point made by the person you're replying to.

I didn't sidestep. first of all "the media" did bring up trumps age I remember seeing it talked about. Also Biden's age was a problem. Blaming this loss on the media is like blaming the refs when you lose a game. Yeah they might've been bad refs but it's your job to win the game regardless. The way the media treats trump is not new and if the Dems didn't take that into account that was their mistake

Closer to blaming the commentator. Nevertheless, I still like this analogy.
