Republicans want to make an issue out of President Biden’s age, but let’s talk about the fact that Donald Trump lasted less than an hour at the Iowa State Fair before he had to leave.
There are conflicting reports about why Trump left after less than an hour at the Iowa State Fair. Without official confirmation, it has been said that the former president was tired, while others say he was not feeling well.

Trump arrived at the fair at 12:45 PM local time, and he was out of there by 1:32 PM local time.

If Republicans want to discuss the physical health of their likely presidential nominee versus that of the incumbent president, Democrats should welcome that conversation.
Donald Trump’s inability to campaign raises serious questions about his physical fitness for office, and since Trump won’t release his medical records, voters should demand answers about the former president’s health.
