Rep. David Scott’s Democratic challengers aren’t exploiting his most publicized weakness.

Despite concerns on the Hill about the Georgia Democrat’s health and job performance, his primary opponents have made no mention of the issue in campaign ads and were hesitant to discuss it in interviews.

Candidates and operatives speculated that as Republicans batter President Joe Biden over his age, Scott’s opponents are wary of attacking their fellow Democrat for the same.
