If he runs for reelection in 2024, he will be 81 years old on Election Day and will turn 82 shortly after. This would make him the oldest president to run for reelection in US history. Biden has already made history as the oldest president to be inaugurated at age 78.
Biden’s announcement has been met with mixed reactions. Some have expressed concern about his age and ability to serve another term, while others have praised his experience and leadership. The upcoming election is sure to be closely watched as the country continues to face challenges both at home and abroad.
