I wouldn't consider those odds to be acceptable for ANY presidential candidate. A nation of some 330 million people ought to come up with candidates whose odds of competently serving a full term are much higher, regardless of their political positions.
Unfortunately what we ought to do and the reality with which we are faced are two different things. I’d love to see an actuarial analysis of Biden &Trump prognostics based on truthful/accurate health&fitness data regarding each of them. That said the situation we are in is what it is … I will vote&hope for what I believe to be the best choices we have in November 2024 to keep our democracy alive.
I will vote also, based on my conscience as to a really good choice, and not on some calculation as to the least worst choice between Biden-Harris and Trump-whoever. In the last three elections, I have written-in rationally conservative Republicans (the Last being Condoleezza Rice) and am proud say that I had nothing to do with either Trump or Biden.
