Never liked the "Biden's age is the new Her Emails" take, but you had a similar dynamic in 2016... nagging, near-disqualifying story that kept blurring out the nominee's message, and Dems hoping it wouldn't blow up at the wrong moment.
Then Anthony Weiner blew it up at the wrong moment.

This is a big time scandal. They’ve been lying to us about him.
And as I said 4 months ago (ad nauseam), "Biden's old" is really anxiety about Harris, and Dems could have solved it then, goddammit.
A representative post from that time:

My point is that the Dems could have and should have solved this with a strong statement 4 months ago instead of having to squirm through a week of media nonsense -- no doubt including a bunch of absurd "expert" opinion tomorrow morning.
Biden’s aging like fucking milk and that’s not going to get turned around by the passing of more time.
It IS the new butteremails.
I’m so glad my primary vote is so disposable to my “betters”. Really makes me want to fight for that party. So different from Trump. 🤷♂️
It’s also telling how actual Dems (Warren, Sanders, Newsom etc) are all solidly backing Biden.
I think a lot of these people are bored and are wishcasting for a more interesting race. I get it, but the thing is what it is. If you purport to be an expert there is no excuse for not paying attention until now.
