WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden turned 82 years old on Wednesday, solidifying his spot as the oldest U.S. president in history.
The president, who has often had to answer questions about his health and stamina, has previously made jokes about being his age. Joe Biden's biography
Biden was born November 20, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He was the first of four children to Catherine Eugenia Finnegan Biden and Joseph Robinette Biden, Sr.
The Biden family then moved to Claymont, Delaware, where he graduated from the University of Delaware and Syracuse Law School and served on the New Castle County Council.
He was then elected to the U.S. Senate at 29 years old. Weeks prior to his election victory, he and his wife Neilia and daughter Naomi were killed, and sons Hunter and Beau were critically injured in a car accident. Biden had to be sworn in at his sons’ hospital bedsides.
He then married Jill Biden in 1977 and the couple gave birth to their daughter Ashley in 1980.
Biden represented Delaware for 36 years before becoming vice president to President Barack Obama.
In 2020, Biden was elected the 46th president of the United States at the age of 77. Questions about age, health lead to Biden dropping out of 2024 race
In July 2024, Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House, ending his bid for reelection after a disastrous debate with Donald Trump that raised doubts about the incumbent’s fitness for office.
Biden’s decision to bow out came after escalating pressure from his Democratic allies to step aside following the June 27 debate, in which the 81-year-old president trailed off, often gave nonsensical answers and failed to call out the former president’s many falsehoods.
A day after his debate blunder, Biden’s voice at a North Carolina rally was forceful, his eyes alert, his delivery confident. As he spoke, cheers filled the room.
Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. However, she was defeated by current President-elect Donald Trump. Who was previously the oldest president?
Before Biden, Trump was the oldest person ever to be elected as U.S. president: 70 years old at the time of his inauguration in January 2017.
He ended his first term as president at 74 years old.
Democrats haven't had a "free and fair" election process for the primaries since 2008.
Hillary was "her turn." Joe was selected by the Carville types who bought off the other candidates who endorsed Joe. Kamala was selected.
Yet they run as outsiders to "save democracy"? Amazing.
They’re idea of democracy isn’t the traditional one that’s for sure.....also, a little surprised taterheads B-day pretty much went unannounced......this is first I heard of it.....you’d think there would be a party at the WH.....you know, with lots of little kids around for him to grope.
Trump was born June 14 1946. When he completes his term in office on Jan 20 2029 he’ll be older than Joe is on Jan 20 2025 by a few months.
82 years young! He is the picture of youth. Wears diapers, eats pureed food, takes naps, says gibberish.
He toddles and stumbles across the beach yet no one, not Jill, not his security, reaches out to help steady him. They all wait for a faceplant.
Happy Birthday Joe! And thank God that Obama and Valerie haven’t replaced you with Kami yet. Hang in there, they’re still trying.
Only “status” this guy will have is grifter, cheat, liar
I just want him to stay healthy and safe until Donald Trump is sworn in.
I know we are all lovey dovey and talking positively about Biden since he may have voted for Trump blah blah blah.
F him…that sombich lectured us on the virus and tried to force vaxx us, drove inflationary policies, censored social media in direct violation of the Comstitution, ate pudding while wars commenced and exited Afghanistan but invaded Mar-A-Lago, fomented separatism and called us Nazis, weaponized the DOJ and CDC, and had a wife propped up by a gaslighting media calling her glamorous while she dressed worse than Raggedy Ann.
The beauty of the Trump re-election is this loser exits the WH with no camouflage. The world sees Biden for what he is…a bitter, angry little old man who despises all that is good.
NAH NAH NAA NAA..HEY HEY HEY, GOODBYE.
Pelosi is older than Joetato.
WOW! Not only the oldest but also the first re-incarnated President!
I see this is from a Fox TV affiliate. Even from the unreliable news network I don’t think we would have seen this little gem from the article:
“Biden’s decision to bow out came after escalating pressure from his Democratic allies to step aside following the June 27 debate, in which the 81-year-old president trailed off, often gave nonsensical answers and failed to call out the former president’s many falsehoods.”
He is a zombie.
And worst. Jimmy carter had the title and joementia came along and said “Oh yeah? Hold my ice cream!”. Poof! Worst ever.
I thought Carter was the worst but at least he was a veteran and Christian (professing).
Then Obama’s terrible 8 years.
But Joe has been the worst President in our history. Completely incompetent and run by handlers. Horrible.
Kamala would’ve been worse than Joe.
Though not in control. Who in the h*ll is running this country?
It’s obvious that Joe would benefit from using a walker while he is in motion, just to keep his balance.
I guess his puppet masters don’t think he would look presidential. “Look presidential?” Are we the public supposed to have forgotten those numerous episodes of seeing Joe tripping and falling up the stairs?
Who in the h*ll is running this country?
The same cabal that’s been running it since 2008.
According to Lindsey Graham, Biden is “as good a man as God ever created.”
I’m getting cynical.
