Concerns about Biden's viability as 2024 presidential candidate

Dear Senator, I'm pretty worried about the upcoming presidential election next year. I really respect President Biden, but sometimes he seems kind of confused or loses focus when giving speeches. That makes me worried about whether he'll be able to take on the Republican opponent and protect our rights. Some people are saying maybe he should step aside because of his age possibly affecting how well he does his job. To be clear, I think President Biden is a good and capable leader. But I'm not sure if he's our best choice to get support from people in the suburbs or people who haven't decided yet once the campaign really gets going. Maybe a younger candidate with more energy would be better at standing up for the family values our party believes in. My main goal is making sure we win and don't go back to harmful policies from before. I'm really torn on this, so I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for your service and leadership.
