Joe Biden has made history as the oldest person to become President of the United States.

Born on November 20, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Biden became the 46th President of the United States in 2021 and the 47th Vice President of the United States from 2009 to 2017.

At the age of 81, Biden is the oldest American President, a distinction he has held since entering office at age 78. This milestone marks a significant departure from the median age at inauguration, which has typically been in the late 50s.

Biden's political career spans five decades, from his days as a young US Senator at 30 to the presidency as he nears 80. As he considers running for reelection in 2024, Biden's age will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion and speculation.
