During Thursday night's debate, the advanced ages of President Biden and former President Donald Trump became a focal point, leading to a contentious exchange rather than substantive answers. Trump, 78, and Biden, 81, are the oldest major-party candidates in U.S. history, both significantly older than the median age of world leaders by at least 16 years. When asked by CNN debate moderator Dana Bash about concerns regarding his age during a potential second term, Biden, the first octogenarian U.S. president, reflected on his political career, noting that he was once criticized for being too young and is now facing scrutiny for being the oldest. This exchange quickly devolved into personal insults and a debate over golf, a sport often associated with retirees.
