As the race for the 2024 presidential election heats up, the age of the potential candidates is coming into focus. With President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump being the front-runners for their respective parties, the question arises – how old are they really?
President Joe Biden, born on November 20, 1942, is currently 81 years old. If he were to win re-election in 2024, he would be 86 years old when the new president is sworn into office in January 2029. On the other hand, former President Donald Trump, born on June 14, 1946, is currently 77 years old. If he were to win the election in November, he would be 82 years old when the transition of power is set to take place.
Looking back at the history of the United States, these two candidates would be among the oldest presidents to hold office. The oldest president in history was Ronald Reagan, who was 69 years and 348 days old when he took office in 1980. Other notable older presidents include William Henry Harrison, James Buchanan, and George H.W. Bush.
As the country prepares for another election cycle, the age of the candidates is sure to be a topic of discussion. Will age be a factor in the decision-making process for voters? Only time will tell as the race for the White House continues to unfold.
