Joe Biden celebrates 82nd birthday as oldest U.S. president in history
President Joe Biden turns 82 today, making him the oldest president in U.S. history. He celebrates at the White House with family and friends, marking his last birthday as commander-in-chief after stepping aside from the 2024 reelection race. Biden's decision to withdraw from the presidential race followed a challenging debate performance and internal party pressure. He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate, paving the way for her leadership. Donald Trump, who recently reclaimed the presidency at age 78, could surpass Biden's age record if he completes his second term in 2029, reaching 82 years and seven months.
