How does Joe Biden’s age compare with other world leaders? - BBC News

At age 80, Joe Biden is already the oldest US president.

If he was to win in 2024, he would be 86 at the end of his second term.

Some experts have already said his age could be a campaign issue, but others say an 80 year old now is not like an 80 year old in the past.

Watch to find out how Biden’s age compares with that of other leaders around the world.

His age wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't obviously slowing down

[bigbasil]

It's not his age that is a problem. It is the fact that he has senile dementia and is in charge of a major part of the North American continent and a military that has over 800 military bases around the world. Jesus, the BBC is ridiculous.

An 80 year old vouching for another 80 year old! 🤦🏾

I'm not voting for someone older than 60.

[jimcourt]

BBC in full apologist mode. Reagan was younger and the BBC slatted him regarding his age

[lamestreammedia]

Maybe compare is mental faculties rather than his age. That's a more appropriate subject BBC. Talk about gaslighting.

How are similarly old presidents out of 3rd world countries comparable?

My grandfather is 83. I love him and he's far from senile, but I wouldn't vote for him for president!

[aeliusromanus]

His problem is not *age* but mental health.

[gbrown]

He's already senile... what a joke

[horse-]

He’s too old but people shouldn’t hate him for it.

Other world leaders still got a pulse

[xronaldx]

He should retire we need a mentally stable president

[Rhyds]

Age aside, the unlimited amount of gaffs and the fact he can barely string a sentence together should rule him out all together.

[ponythroat]

I think his mental age is more important that his chronological age.

His mental age being either 150, or about 6.

[theenchiladakid]

I had honestly forgotten that he is 80 since the last time the media reported his age yesterday

Some people do live longer and healthier, it's not his physical health that is a "concern".
