I don’t wish cancer on anyone, but these kinds of health risks are exactly why it was sheer hubris to seek reelection in 2024 (or even election in 2020). Cancer, heart disease, and stroke risks are at their highest for people his age, not to mention the dangers of dementia and even just falling. Jerry Connolly and Mitch McConnell have had to step out of leadership due to age related health issues, Sylvester Turner and Raúl Grijalva died in office, and that’s just since the Congressional term started in January. I don’t want to be spiteful or cruel, but I feel extremely angry that he even attempted reelection and once again vindicated in saying his age made him unfit for office.

Sheer hubris and the DNC, name a more iconic duo.
