Biden Celebrates 82nd Birthday, Extending Record as Oldest President

President Biden marked his 82nd birthday on Wednesday, reinforcing his position as the oldest president in U.S. history. The celebration comes after his return to the White House late Tuesday from a six-day trip to South America.

A White House official confirmed Biden would celebrate the milestone privately with his family. Known for his humor, Biden has previously poked fun at his age, such as last year when he joked about having “run out of space for candles” on his birthday cake.

While Biden remains the oldest to serve, his record may not last. At 78, former President Trump was elected for a second term earlier this month and will surpass Biden’s record by the end of his term in 2029, when he will be 82 years and seven months old.
