President Biden Upholds Thanksgiving Tradition on 81st Birthday Amid Age Concerns

Washington, District of Columbia United States of America

President Biden celebrated his 81st birthday by pardoning Thanksgiving turkeys, Liberty and Bell.
Various polls have shown a decline in Biden's popularity, especially among younger voters.

President Joe Biden marked his 81st birthday by upholding the annual White House tradition of pardoning Thanksgiving turkeys. The turkeys, named Liberty and Bell, were presented by Steve Lykken, chairman of the National Turkey Federation and president of the Jennie-O Turkey Store. This tradition dates back to 1947, but the act of pardoning the turkeys began in the late 1980s.

While the President's birthday was celebrated with this light-hearted tradition, it also brings to the forefront discussions about his age as he potentially gears up for a re-election bid. Biden, who recently turned 81, is the oldest president in U.S. history. His age has been a concern among voters, including Democrats. Various polls have shown a decline in Biden's popularity, especially among younger voters.

Historically, age has been a factor in presidential elections. The situation is reminiscent of former President Ronald Reagan, who was the second oldest U.S. president. Despite concerns about his age, Reagan managed to win a second term with a landslide victory. As Biden's birthday candles add up, it remains to be seen whether he can win the support of younger voters in the next election, despite his age.
