NASHUA, N.H. — Dean Phillips and Nikki Haley both celebrated their birthdays on Saturday in New Hampshire, where the two are engaged in long-shot bids for the presidency against opponents who are battering them in the polls. And both of them have turned their focus to a specific line of attack as the New Hampshire primaries — a make-or-break for each — creep closer.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump are old and not mentally fit for another term in the presidency, Phillips and Haley argued at separate events and media appearances this weekend.
“We all know Joe Biden is a good man,” Phillips, a Democratic congressman from Minnesota, said at an event at a senior center in Nashua on Saturday. “I respect him, but he should have passed the torch. He should not be running again. His age, yes, his state of life, he’s in decline.”
