Donald Trump is the oldest man to have ever first assumed the office of the president. When he was inaugurated in 2017, Trump was 70 years and 220 days old, barely edging out Ronald Reagan, who was 69 years and 348 days old when he was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 1980. If elected, Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden, who turns 78 next November, would bury the current age record.

A new report by Politico, based on claims from multiple Biden advisers, says the former vice president has made clear to staffers that it’s “virtually inconceivable” that he’d run for a second term if he manages to take down Trump in 2020.
