Joe Biden Turns 80: The Oldest-Serving President in US History

The 46th President's Life and Career

An Extraordinary Journey

WEB Biden, the 46th president of the United States, turned 80 years old on Sunday, November 20, 2022. This milestone marks an unprecedented moment in American history, as he becomes the first octogenarian to serve in the White House.

Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 1942, Biden has had a remarkable life and career. At age 29, he was elected to the United States Senate, becoming one of the youngest Americans to hold that office. Just weeks after his election, tragedy struck when his wife and daughter died in a car accident. Through his grief, Biden dedicated himself to public service.

After 36 years in the Senate, Biden became Vice President of the United States under Barack Obama in 2009. He served in that role for eight years before being elected to the presidency in 2020. At age 78, he became the oldest person ever to be sworn in as president.
