Right, 30.

Brittanica: Joe Biden was elected to represent Delaware in the U.S. Senate in 1972 at the age of 29, becoming the fifth youngest senator in U.S. history. He remained a senator until 2009.

The left is certain his polls on the economy will improve as inflation declines. They have no clue that people who see wars and illegals know the economy is worsening as those things add to their future costs.

30 when sworn in. So you can run at 29.
