Joe Biden, at age 78, will become the oldest U.S. president when he is sworn into office. Still, he is younger than many in top Washington jobs.

, will be older on his first day in office than Mr. Reagan was on his last. Mr. Biden, who turned 78 in November, will also replace President Trump as the oldest to assume the presidency.

Still, he is younger than many in top Washington jobs. Working well past typical retirement age is one of the few points of bipartisan agreement in the nation’s capital. Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California is the Senate’s oldest member at 87, while Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa is less than three months her junior. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is 78.

Republican Rep. Don Young of Alaska, the oldest person in the U.S. House and a member of Congress since the Nixon administration, is 87.

(Sarcasm) Imagine that. Out of millions of other people, the USA “elects” a 78 year old man to serve as president.

Will he act as the elderly statesman or senile President? His age and health will be very important for the administration. USA is badly polarised. Somebody like him must bring a healing touch and bind the wounds.

heh 'eclipse' . Brutal

Biden leader of new “censorship party”. Anathema to a republic.

And he can finish a sentence and walk down the ramp!!!!

His brilliance balances out his old age

Why is he such an angry man? Dont even try it! He’s always been that way.. but why?

Con trampa

Biden is looking good. Trump got plan old fat !

We need to create a mentorship program to move elderly representatives into a different role. Their experience is valuable but we all need to be honest about the cost of their refusal to step aside.

I do agree that age is a problem .. we, the older generation have the experience, the patience, the insight that sometimes lacks in the younger generations but we can be too set in our ways, convinced that our way is the right way and afraid of change, we need to be more flexible

Now do his mental age!!

When the boomers are gone, the world will advance

Recycled washed geriatric Washington Elites lost touch with middle America or forgot it along time ago .

He has dementia

Uganda’s request, is that America’s tax payer raise their voice to stops funding Museveni a dictator who has been sustained for 35years against the will of Ugandans because of the aid and donor funds.

Time to set a maximum age for elected offices. Age 70 would be a good cut off limit

What exactly DRIVES him.

Turning the White House into a nursing home

How old is Dr? Jill, as she’ll be calling the shots until The Big Guy resigns...

Biden has long since fallen off the Hill... easily the least competent President ever to be inaugurated, but it will not last long! Democrats will take him down within 2 years!

Oldest, most corrupt, most incompetent, ......

He’s definitely the furthest down the path of dementia.

Age is just a number....What matters mor... will Biden know how old he is ?

Way to old

You have to be at least 35 years old to be a Senator, and 25 years old to be a Representative. Both should also have an age cap of 70 years old.

The restoration of the old, life-long politicians (aka swamp) is almost complete.

TermLimits Forced retirement!!

termlimits solves this issue, 12 years total allowed for “service” as a politician, no lobbying for 10 more afterwards

CALIFORNIA SCHWARZENEGGER WHO GAVE us KILLING FOR PROFIT CAP AND TRADE $3.5 BILLION COLLECTED $100 BILLON FIRE DAMAGES $100 BILLION FLOOD DAMAGES 100 BURNED ALIVE 100 DROWNED ALIVE REPUBLICANS LYING AND DENYING DEADLY GLOBAL WARMING PANDEMIC IS G W

Hmmm. Why don’t they retire ? Anybody question this?

He has smart, hard working back-up.

He’s also the first President to be elected who is senile.

Definition of 'spin'. 😂

Perhaps Biden can create a plan to build minority-owned manufacturing plants here in U.S.? Kind of like Opportunity Zones from Trump Administration? It would be a win win - help minorities and create jobs.

roflmfao 'Still, he is younger than many in top Washington jobs.' No matter what, you will prop ol Joe up.

It’s not age, it’s cognitive ability and he has none.

wish he could be OK the coming four years

what is meaning of 'Washington swamp' ?

This is what is wrong with politics. Outdated clueless leadership.

The first dementia president!

First president with dementia

I happy he won how can we set term limits we need to stop both sides

'Still' he is very old and showing signs of cognitive decline.

He looks even older than he really is. My 94 yo grandma is much more able to think than he is.

America also will finally have another President since Barack Obama left office

Elders perhaps know best. Or know what a good gravy train looks like 🧐

Nice try to make it positive. This paper is lost. He will be out within the first 6 months.

He repeatedly said he was running for the Senate ... expressed that AZ was a city, could not name the constitution. Persons that voted for him need an IQ test.

Cheater is always cheater at any age.

Age limits not term limits.

Try and try until you succeed and on his 3rd try he finally got the highest position, wish all best and success to JoeBiden 46th President.

Obama 3.0

“he’s still younger than my in top Washington jobs” 😂

I wish him well. Glad he has a young VP. I hope both of them will be good for the majority of Americans, even people on the right who are not violent criminals or inurrectionists.

Nothing like reaching the pinnacle of your career at 78.

Hopeless

This EVIL hunter juz only making d American Great Shameful + Tarnishing Entire US citizens images 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿!!

And all this time I thought “old white guy” was something we didn’t want in power anymore. 🤔

And senile, too, we're making America great.

It will always be debated, whether he was elected at all, or whether software and fraud decided! I go with software and fraud!

Both is a problem. These old ass people have no clue what they are doing

For sure REALLY fit to hold office for the next 8 years. And not the still sitting president who has never been mentally or emotionally fit for any public office since birth. Trump’s evolution in the last 4: The Curios Case if Benjamin Button.

Now I believe what people are saying about chris_grey2 is true, Mr Chris you are indeed a man of your words, you have changed life’s including mine. Thanks chris_grey2 for your kindness I now have alot to pay off my debt I'll not stop trading with your company platform

Too old. Has been buffoon can't even string a coherent sentence together. Gonna be 25th'd real quick by Harris and her woke cheerleaders

Joe the cheater !

Hope he does something genuinely in the best interests of his country and all peace loving communities across the globe 🙏

What a joke

Oh! Republic of Uganda have same age president as U.S.

Orange🍊45 should not be allowed to RUN AGAIN for office, get intelligence briefs to SALE ..TAXPAYERS should not PAY for a pension, lifetime Secret Service ,travel benefits, etc . ALL the LOSER should get is PRISON TIME for COVID deaths, CAGED babies, RAPE, INSURRECTION...etc.

Fossil swamp!

senile beyond his years.

Who?

Traitor 😷😷

Commons man. Kamala will be queen for 12 years. Hope.

It's the combined weight of all those years that's holding the country back.

Again bad leader, does not understand mentorship. Wtf with these old guys?

What is age?

His wisdom will bring the country together!

Let me tell you a prophecy today- 2 to 4 years from now Harris will be the 1st female president of the US of A

What a stupid tweet.

Harris will become the biggest winner!

Should be an age limit for leaders, he's way too old.

Mandatory retirement at 65 and a two term limit.

This ain’t it but it’s better than 45

Please rescue me. I am in a lot of danger. Please someone save my life. I want to live. Please help me.

Joe you can’t say bingo unless you actually won...

Well he's replacing the most unpopular president in history, so not all bad.

electoral system that able to bring such mushrooms to power is defective. and first issue is two ruling parties that acts mostly as one and have no one ideological difference. in other words USA has no party for working class for 350 mln of Americans, but has even 2 for 0,0001%

Will not ever become! Trump is the legitimate president ☝🏻🇺🇸

Biden is an old fool !!!

Succeeding the youngest president to hold the office who has miraculously managed to regress in age - currently clocked at age 4

People not being there at the inauguration was not meant to be taken literally 😂

I am not sure yet, let President Trump relinquish first.

а ля Брежневское политбюро

Joe Biden’s so old his Social Security number is 1

It’s astonishing that with all their wealth ppl like Moscow Mitch are so drunk on power & having control that they’ll die at work, I’ve seen this at the USPS where they can’t make you retire ppl rolled out on a stretcher after working 44yrs & never took one vacation!

Oldest girl groper in office ever. How proud.

We need to address this on a bipartisan basis imo. Age in Washington is ludicrous. There is no reason gentlemen and ladies in their 80s should be making decisions for the rest of us. It is true (and inherently problematic) in any other sector, as well.

Los titulares no saben como acomodar las noticias de este señor, un pedofilo publico y notorio, que no tiene miedo de tocar niñas frente a una camara, lo que hara cuando sea presidente? Dios nos ayude! PedofiloBiden

Joes the man👍

He sure looks & behaves much younger than Trump. I forget he's that age. He's fit and healthy.

And still not as old as Pelosi

moorehn needs to be fired! Unprofessional behavior

to be fair i think it's best preferred if he will just serve one term

Sleepy and the ‘Ho are a joke

So much for the call to replace old white people 🙄

he’s only been sucking on the public teat for 50 years now

Joe is first demential president 😀👍

Fake election

78 is the new 58. 👀

Age ain’t nothing but a really old number

And it shows!!!

He can't be president. for one's sins You'll be arrested soon. lol

Doesn’t seem like it

And they should all go

🙄🧐🙄🧐

Impeach him and get a fifty years old woman(kamala Harris) as a president.

I bet he lasts no more than 6 months.

However, he does know the difference between books and trees.

And the only senile sworn in

This guy won't make it for 4 years .. hes too old

With a mental age of 95.

Along with Term Limits, IMO, we should also implement Age Limits; a maximum age to balance the already required minimum age.

I know a country with presidents age of 86 . That why is collapsing

Chyna joe.

When guys get this age they fart uncontrollably.

Once the youngest senator at 29, now the oldest president at 78.

-maturity includes being honest and not corrupt.

I feel sorry for the person who has to change his diapers.

It's not the age, its the mileage! He will rock 💃🕺🚀

Sharper than his predecessor, many times over. He'll do.

But he doesn't look like 78 ! Iam in 40s and all around tell me you look like 80s !

Average age in the Senate went from 54.4 to 62.9 years, because elected public service has turned into a lifelong career for many. This is why we need term limits. Two Terms Max for all our elected public servants - Democrats, Independents, or Republicans.

He's not in yet! I'm already looking fwd to his departure! Either from old age or kicked out in 24. Hopefully he will be impeached like the ones before him!

WashingtonDC is more like a war zone now. Check out the video:

Let’s put an end to this BS. I want a 50 year old man or woman to represent me, someone who has some semblance of what life is like for us mere mortals.

Trump got Trumped

Age ain’t nothing but a really old number
