This year, the President revisited Walter Reed Hospital in Maryland for his annual health check-ups. The White House is set to release a report on President Biden's health status later today.

Is Biden too old for the presidency? Americans have no doubts

Having turned 81 in November 2023, Joe Biden will be 86 by the end of his second term if he wins the upcoming election.

A recent poll conducted for ABC News revealed that as many as 86 percent of Americans consider Biden too old for another term. However, it's important to note that his potential contender, former president Donald Trump, is not far behind at 77 years old.

Interestingly, 59 percent of the participants feel that Biden and Trump are too old for the presidency. This underscores the significance that many Americans place on the age of their presidential candidates.
