Joe 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. President-elect Joe Biden turned 78 on Friday. Out of the gate, Biden will be keen to demonstrate he’s got the vigor to serve. Biden has described himself as a transitional president but hasn’t ruled out running for a second term. Some of Biden’s White House predecessors left behind breadcrumbs about the dos and don’ts of demonstrating presidential vigor, said Edward Frantz, a presidential historian at the University of Indianapolis.
