Biden celebrates 82nd birthday but won't be America's oldest President for long

Joe Biden, the oldest president in US history, celebrated his 82nd birthday with family at the White House on Wednesday. Mr Biden's age has been a persistent issue throughout his four-year presidency and led to him to abandon his bid for re-election in July.

But he won't hold the record of oldest American leader for long. Donald Trump, who is 78, will become the oldest president inaugurated when he is sworn into office on January 20. He will be about five months older than Mr Biden was when he was inaugurated in 2021.

Mr Biden, born in 1942 during the Second World War, frequently jokes about his age and last year posted a picture on social media of his birthday cake, which appeared to be ablaze under dozens of candles.

“Thanks for the birthday well-wishes today, everyone. Turns out on your 146th birthday, you run out of space for candles,” he wrote in the caption.
