One "known unknown" in this whole discussion about age, and the Biden-Kamala conundrum is that Trump hasn't announced a VEEP yet, and he will have to do so a full month before the Democratic convention. Then the rules of the game change.
Trump could pick someone that 60% of America finds odious. He could pick an oil drilling billionaire who pisses off Gen Z. He could pick an insane younger woman, and then misogyny becomes less of a liability for Biden-Harris, or Harris-Shapiro, or Shapiro-Whitmer. He could pick JD Vance and white-rural Americans might notice that JD Vance actually despises them. He could pick some very-elderly religious dude who thinks women should be seen and not heard and not given access to birth control.
If I were a Democratic strategist, I would want Biden and his surrogates out there campaigning hard not necessarily for the Biden-Harris ticket, but for the Biden administration as a whole until Trump announces the 2024 ticket. And then formulate a plan plus half a dozen back-up plans based on what happens in Milwaukee.
