Joseph Biden is the oldest president in US history. He survived the death of his wife and daughter in his youth, but was able to withstand the blows of fate. Biden has been in politics his entire life and has no intention of stopping.
On Sunday, November 20, the 46th President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. Celebrating its 80th birthday. He remains the oldest head of the White House in United States history.
The White House assures that Biden does not smoke, drink alcohol and play sports five times a week. Biden is also considering running for a second term in the 2024 election.
Despite the 46th president almost always looking cheerful and peaceful, Joe Biden suffered a life-changing personal tragedy in his youth.
The tragedy of Joe Biden: the death of his wife and daughter
In 1966, 24-year-old Joe Biden married the beautiful teacher Neilia Hunter, whom he met in the Bahamas during spring break. The girl was from a Presbyterian family and they objected to her daughter marrying a Catholic, but Neilia managed to persuade them.
The young couple had three children – sons Joseph and Hunter, nicknamed Bo in the family, and daughter Naomi.
But Biden’s family happiness did not last long: in 1972, Nelia and little Naomi tragically died in a car accident. Sons Bo and Hunter were seriously injured but survived.
In 1978, Biden married for the second time. His wife was Jill Stevenson, who, like his first wife, worked as a teacher. A daughter named Ashley was born to this marriage.
It was Jill who convinced her husband to run for president and then listened.

Joe Biden’s father, Joseph Robinette Biden Sr. She lived to 87 years old, and her mother Katherine Eugenia to 93, so the 46th president is genetically predisposed to longevity.
The White House assures that he does not smoke, does not drink alcohol, and does sports five times a week.
After the President of the United States’ medical examination in November 2021, an official message emerged from Biden’s personal physician, Kevin O’Connor, claiming that the politician was fully fit for public service and was able to perform his duties without restriction. “President Biden remains a healthy and energetic man,” the doctor said.
The president himself said it was “absolutely legal” for voters to ask whether a person his age could handle the stress of being head of state.
“I think the best option to make such an assessment is to just look at me,” said the US President.
Nicknames for Joe Biden
Biden stuttered a lot as a kid, and his classmates nicknamed him “Goodbye.” Trying to get rid of his speech disorder, the boy stood in front of the mirror and read poems alone for hours. As a result, Joe managed to beat the breach and quit stuttering.
During the election campaign, the politician was given another nickname – Sleepy Joe, in an attempt to hurt his feelings and lower the credibility of the presidential candidate.
On April 25, 2019, then-White House President Donald Trump tweeted, “Welcome to the race, Sleepy Joe.” The nickname was chosen by some Republican media, thus signaling Biden’s failure as a leader and his inability to rule the United States.
President Biden’s Anniversary
Joe Biden became the first US president to celebrate his 80th birthday. Despite this, the White House has decided to abandon the grandiose celebrations of the anniversary. There were reports in the media that the politician will modestly celebrate his personal holiday with a festive brunch in the family circle.
