What happened: President Joe Biden, 80, finally made it official on Tuesday: He’s running for reelection alongside Kamala Harris, one of the least compelling politicians in American history.
« We are in a battle for the soul of the nation, » he said in a video announcement. « Let’s finish the job. I know we can. »
Why it matters: We probably can’t « finish the job » that Biden has in mind. That’s because the octogenarian president—the oldest man to ever hold the office—is statistically unlikely to survive another four-year term in the White House, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.
By the numbers: Science never lies, which is bad news for Sleepy Joe.
• Biden is 80.42 years old.
• If elected to a second term, Biden would be 82.
