President-elect Joe Biden turned 78 on Friday 20th November. In exactly two months, he’ll take the reins of a politically fractured nation facing the worst public health crisis in a century, high unemployment and a reckoning on racial injustice.
As he wrestles with those issues, Biden will be attempting to accomplish another feat: Demonstrate to Americans that age is but a number and he’s up to the job.
Biden will be sworn in as the oldest president in the nation’s history, displacing Ronald Reagan, who left the White House in 1989 when he was 77 years and 349 days old.
The age and health of both Biden and President Donald Trump -- less than four years Biden’s junior — loomed throughout a race that was decided by a younger and more diverse electorate and at a moment when the nation is facing no shortage of issues of consequence.
Throughout the campaign, Trump, 74, didn’t miss a chance to highlight Biden’s gaffes and argue that the Democrat lacked the mental acuity to lead the nation. Both critics and some backers of Biden worried that he was sending the wrong message about his stamina by keeping a relatively light public schedule while Trump barnstormed battleground states. Biden attributed his light schedule to being cautious during the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden’s relatively advanced age also puts a greater premium on the quality of his staff, Baker said. His choice of Sen. Kamala Harris, nearly 20 years younger than him, as his running mate effectively acknowledged his age issue. Biden has described himself as a transitional president but hasn’t ruled out running for a second term.
His physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, in a medical report released by the campaign in December, described Biden as “healthy, vigorous ... fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief.”

Some of our social media political "gurus" want us to believe old man getting elected in Nigeria is a problem...

Awon saner climes aye, the same people accusing Buhari of being too old, are the same people praising Joe Biden.

Happy birthday my niggar!

Biden is the president of CNN and the Media and not the President elect in USA.

Biden will not be president, he will not rule. Write this down.

At what point did d west accuse ur President of being too old? Being old is not the problem, but being clueless and senile and using age as an excuse is the problem.. Hope U saw how Biden engaged other opponents in debates before facing off with Trump.. Did U listen to his speeches and interviews?

Happy birthday to him.

Nothing much. Biden is still widely seen as the winner & president elect. Most of Trump's campaign election court cases are either being tossed out or are been withdrawn. Georgia just declared Biden the winner of Georgia after the hand recount/audit of the votes.
Counties & States have started certifying the election results.
Except the Trump campaign can prove widespread voters fraud & also that such electoral fraud made a difference in the election, no court will be willing to overturn the election results.

Sleepy Joe..Na Carmel toe Harris and Fancy Nancy go dey pull the strings behind. Bidden is just a figure head. What they couldn't achieve with Hillary 4yrs ago they are about to achieve now.

Mainstream media never told us all these!

happy birthday Biden. Tell our Inlaw Harris we said Hello
