President Joe Biden celebrated his 82nd birthday on Wednesday, further cementing his record as the oldest sitting president in U.S. history. His career spans nearly five decades of public service, beginning as the youngest U.S. senator at age 29, followed by 36 years in the Senate, eight years as vice president, and his current role as the 46th president of the United States. Biden surpassed Ronald Reagan, who left office at 77, as the oldest president. When he leaves office in two months at 82 years and 2 months old, Biden will be succeeded by President-elect Donald Trump, who is set to break Biden's age record on August 15, 2028.
