ABC News' Bob Clark profiled Joe Biden in 1972, when he was just old enough to serve as a U.S. senator.

1972: Makes history as youngest senator
2020: Makes history as oldest president

“Make history because of his age” ah yes. Twice

[pubwarrior]

He was 30 when TV was in black and white💀

[scifi]

He went from being pressed on from being the youngest senator to oldest President. It’s a complete full circle moment.

To think its 1972 but it feels like it's from 1950s or so.

I'm just shocked that's what a 30 year old looked like back then.

He went from the youngest person to enter office to the oldest person to enter office.

[troyhoff]

So long ago that news reporters still had that required "early TV accent"

[pricey]

Bro been balding since 1970s and still has hair 💀

[lorenzoporpora]

It’s crazy to see this, knowing that one month later his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident.

Dude is the oldest looking 30 I've ever seen

[earhustler]

I just watched the Biden/Trump 2024 debate. I just wanted to see what President Biden was like as a younger man.

[mmalithefather]

Wow! Watching him put a whole sentence together is mind blowing!

[ethanporto]

Never thought I’d hear someone say Biden is “so young” 😂😂 man made history with his age twice 😂😂

[daveteves]

Early 70s: "Nooo.. Joe is too young!"

Early 2020s: "Nooo.. Joe is too old!"

[terrishaw]

Anyone came here after the 2024 debate with Trump? His decline, woof !

[florinivan]

He's so old he can remember the Looney Tunes when they first aired.
