As life expectancy continues to rise due in large part to medical advancements, age – as it relates to the presidency – doesn’t seem to matter much anymore. Donald Trump, at 70, is the oldest individual ever to assume the office of the presidency.
In 2008, John McCain’s age was frequently brought up as a negative factor. He was 72. However, Bernie Sanders’ age didn’t seem to be much of an issue in the 2016 election cycle. He would have been 75 on election day had he gotten the Democratic nomination.
