President Biden formally launched his re-election campaign on Tuesday. The oldest president in American history, Mr. Biden, now 80, is hoping to extend his time in office until he is 86 years old. 

In February, Mr. Biden’s doctor said the president “remains fit for duty” following a comprehensive health exam, though some voters have expressed concerns about his age.
