Whether Trump or President Joe Biden wins in November, they would both break the record of being the oldest person ever elected president of the United States.
Biden already currently holds the record: he was 78 years old when he took office in January 2021 and would be 86 when he finishes a second term if he wins re-election. Meanwhile, if Trump wins, he would be 82 years old at the end of a second term.
Most Americans have repeatedly said in polls that they did not want a rematch between Trump and Biden in the 2024 election, with many claiming that both were too old or mentally and physically unfit to serve.
Nine years ago, in 2015, Trump celebrated his 69th birthday at Trump Tower, two days after announcing he would run for president in the 2016 election.
When Trump was elected president in 2016, he became the oldest man to take office. Biden broke that record just four years later.
Meanwhile, many younger Americans do not like that the age of American politicians appears to be increasing, and many remain in office despite their advanced years.

No matter whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden wins in 2024, he will be the oldest president ever elected to the White House in American history.
For example, Bill Clinton, who was president in the 1990s, is slightly younger than Trump and will turn 78 in August.
A handful of U.S. representatives are the same age as Trump after his birthday on Friday, and at least 15 are older than him.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., is the only U.S. senator who is the same age as Trump, but eight other senators in the upper chamber’s 100 are over 78. In total, 35 senators are 70 years old or older, meaning more than two-thirds of the Senate are considered elderly.
Trump has maintained that he is physically and mentally fit for office, saying he has passed mental acuity tests and boasting that he is in much better shape than the current president, who is three and a half years his senior.
Biden will turn 82 on Nov. 20, just weeks after the 2024 presidential election.
