President Joe Biden is celebrating his 81st birthday on Monday, as questions about age continue to dominate the 2024 election.
Biden is the oldest commander in chief in U.S. history. If reelected, he will be 82 at the start of his second term and 86 when it ends.
Biden frequently jokes about his age on the campaign trail.
“I know I’m 198 years old,” he quipped back in June while giving remarks on the one-year mark of the U.S. Supreme Court overruling Roe v. Wade.
“I’ve never been more optimistic about our country’s future in the 800 years I’ve served,” he said at a campaign reception in New York in September.
