2024, I'm Off and Running
Mark Knight
Joe Biden is the oldest president in US history, first taking office at the age of 78. In April 2023, aged 80, he launched his 2024 re-election campaign. In this cartoon, Mark Knight plays up Biden’s age. Biden’s possible Republican opponent this time around is former president Donald Trump, who was, at age 70, the second-oldest president in US history at the time of his inauguration in January 2017.
