(50%)
The article is deceptive because it quotes Suozzi saying that Biden is old and likely to support his reelection in 2024. This implies that Suozzi agrees with the ageist stereotype of Biden being too old for office and does not respect him as the president of the United States. The article also omits any context or evidence for Suozzi's claim that Biden is old, such as his health condition, performance, or policies. Additionally, the article does not mention any other candidates besides Biden who might run in 2024 and how Suozzi would vote if they did. The article also uses a sensationalist headline that exaggerates Suozzi's opinion of Biden as being solely based on his age.
He said, 'If he ends up being the Democratic candidate, I’m likely to support him, yes.'
He said, 'I mean, he’s 81 years old.'
He said, 'We all know people — I know 81-year-old people that are in good shape, and I know 81-olds that are not in great shape. He’s old, and there’s no question about it.'
