“Happy birthday to my dear friend and our incredible president, Joe Biden,” Vice President Kamala Harris posted on X.

Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race in July, in part because of voters’ belief that he was too old for the job and because of questions about his mental fitness following his faltering debate performance against Republican Donald Trump in June.

Trump, 78, defeated the Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, 60, in the November 5 election. Trump is expected to surpass Biden’s age record in his next term; he will be 82 years and seven months old by the time of the next presidential transition in 2029.

Ronald Reagan previously held the record for the oldest sitting president, having completed his second four-year term at age 77.
