It's widely assumed that in next year's presidential election, Joe Biden's name will be on the

ballot, but he's in no rush to make a formal announcement.

Help a brother out. Make some news for me.

I plan on running out, but we're not prepared to announce it yet.

As the incumbent, history says that his odds for a second term are pretty good.

But one thing that's working against him is age.

They've been saying this about my age since I began to run.

If Biden were to win in 2024, he'd be 82 years old at his second inauguration,

breaking his own record as the oldest president ever.

The president always says this, which is watch him.

And if you watch him, you'll see that he has a grueling schedule that he keeps up with,

that sometimes some of us are not able to keep up with.

Republicans say Biden's too old to be president, but they're not alone.

As a race for 2024 starts to heat up, even some Democrats are questioning the president's age.

You're listening to The Times, Essential News, from the LA Times.

It's Wednesday, April 19, 2023.

Today, how Biden's age may impact next year's election and how our views of aging has changed

at the whippersnapper age of 65. Here to discuss the age old question of, well, an old president is Ellie Times White House reporter Courtney Suburmanian.

Courtney, welcome to the Times.

Thanks for having me.
