According to conservative pollster Sarah Longwell, voters are less concerned with Donald Trump's age than they are worried about his mental fitness as they look at the presidential choices in 2024.
Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Longwell — founder of Republican Voters Against Trump — was asked about voter worries about both Trump and President Joe Biden and she replied the public seem to hold them to two different standards.
"I wonder, in your focus groups, how the two issues or bearing out, the question of the candidates and the comparison points between the two them," co-host Alicia Menendez pressed.

"Look, whether it is fair or not, voters don't question Trump's mental capacity, they are questioning his sanity," she replied. "They question whether he is fit enough to be commander in chief from a moral and ethical standpoint."
"Trump has big lunatic energy," she continued as the hosts laughed. "He just doesn't come off the same way that Biden does. So the concerns for voters around age do rest with President Biden."
