Like hell, Biden is only 9 years younger than Feinsteinn. Doesn't he want to actually have some time in retirement, unlike her? Does he just want to die in politics?

I think for Biden it's personal. He gave years of his life to the US Senate, some of that is time he'll never get back with his kids.

His oldest son also served in the military for this country and died.

Say what you want about Biden, I think the man genuinely cares, and Trump hits him at his core. If it was e.g. a Jeb Bush running, I think Biden wouldn't have run in 2020 let alone now. I think he wants to retire but he wants to make sure Trump is twice defeated first. He wants Trumpism to die and he feels he's the best chance we've got to stop it.
