A Brexit-voting retired graphic designer from Surrey was stunned to learn he is Joe Biden's fifth cousin, but doesn't hold out much hope for his chances of becoming the US President. Ralph Biden, 74, believes his distant cousin, who turns 78 on November 20, is a 'little bit too old' for the role. The father-of-two from Cobham, Surrey, only discovered his relation to the Democratic nominee during an interview with The Times. It follows Donald Trump, 74, dubbing the US presidential candidate 'Sleepy Joe' and often questioning his mental and physical fitness, as well as stamina. The same USA Today poll that has Biden leading Trump 52-44 has the president's approval rating at a perilous 44 to 53 rating.
