AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
President Biden is 80 years old. Former President Trump is 77.
Age has become a defining part of Biden’s image, and is potentially his political Achilles’ heel. Polls suggest voters in both political parties have doubts about electing Biden to a second term because of his age.
