    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Yet some of the same surveys show Biden pulling ahead among voters 65 and older, a trend that, if it carries through to November, would make him the first Democrat to win seniors since Al Gore in 2000.

    Second gentleman Douglas Emhoff will help launch the effort with an event on Friday in New Hampshire, the battleground state with the highest percentage of residents 65 and older, according to the campaign spokesperson.

    Biden advisers and his Democratic allies offer a variety of explanations for the recent shift among older voters, including some factors that they say also explain diminishing support among other groups.

    Biden aides have said his speech about democracy last week in France was an intentional echo of Ronald Reagan’s remarks 40 years earlier, something that might resonate with past supporters of the Republican icon.

    He highlighted the story of Lisa Clark, an Air Force veteran who is receiving benefits under the law after her husband, a combat engineer during the Vietnam War, died of cancer.

    Richard Fiesta, the organization’s executive director, said it also hopes to amplify another major Biden initiative this fall, when the administration plans to announce lower prices for 10 prescription drugs negotiated through Medicare, a key plank of the Inflation Reduction Act.
