Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) criticized President Joe Biden’s campaign for dismissing concerns from Democrats and voters about Biden’s age following the president’s poor debate performance. 

In an interview with Semafor, Welch said it was “inappropriate” for the Biden campaign to dismiss concerns about Biden, 81, and his old age. Many Democrats have been alarmed in the past few days in the fallout of Biden’s debate performance, in which he gave rambling answers and looked physically uncomfortable onstage.
