It’s official! President Joe Biden will run for re-election in 2024.

In a short video released by the president’s private Twitter account, he said that “every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours.” Whether or not the president is referring to members of the Silent Generation or a sort of amorphous group of all generations is unclear.

How old will Joe Biden be in the 2024 election?

Currently, the President of the United States is 80 years old, which means that for the 2024 elections, he will be 81. Should he win and taking into account that his date of birth is November 20, Biden would begin his second term at 82 years old.

Who is the oldest president in US history?

If Joe Biden wins re-election, he will retain the title of oldest president in the country’s history, the same one he won in January 2021 when he took office at the age of 78.

Before Biden, the title - like the presidency - belonged to Donald Trump, who became the 45th President of the American Union at 70 years of age, a figure that is now well below the new record.
