President Joe Biden recently turned 82 years old, establishing him as the oldest individual ever to hold the office of president in the United States. This week, he did not engage in any public events, likely due to his late return from a trip to South America.

Tributes poured in on social media from various figures, including First Lady Jill Biden and former President Barack Obama, who expressed their well-wishes for his birthday. Vice President Kamala Harris shared her sentiments on X, highlighting her appreciation for Biden as a friend and leader.

Earlier this year, Biden made headlines when he withdrew from the upcoming 2024 presidential race, a decision influenced by concerns among voters regarding his age and mental sharpness, particularly after a less-than-stellar debate performance against Republican candidate Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Trump, who is 78, is in a position to become the oldest president in history himself, as he could exceed Biden's age record by the time he transitions into office again in 2029.

Ronald Reagan previously held the title of the oldest sitting president, concluding his second term at the age of 77.
