President Biden’s 81st Birthday Prompts Concerns Over Age Liability

Biden's age liability plays a significant role in voters perceptions in which many have expressed concerns over his physical and mental health.

Monday is President Biden’s birthday!

The U.S. leader is marking his 81st birthday with a family celebration as he braces for a tough election year ahead.

In his older age, the president was prescribed custom orthotics to help with his feet this year, after his annual physical determined that he experiences a “stiff gait.” Recently, when the president flies on Air Force One, he has started using a smaller, shorter set of stairs more often to board and deplane.

Biden’s age liability plays a significant role in voters perceptions in which many have expressed concerns over his physical and mental health. He already is the oldest president in history, ahead of Ronald Reagan, who was 77 at the end of his second term. If elected in 2024, he would be 86 at the end of his second term.
