Biden celebrates 80th birthday away from spotlight

The US President preferred to celebrate his 80th birthday without ceremonial appearances, although it was the first time in the history of the United States that the US President had reached his 80th year at the helm.

Biden, whose age is particularly controversial as he contemplates running for a new term, did not jeopardize the occasion with any festive atmosphere.

It took until Sunday afternoon for his wife

• Jill Biden, to post on Twitter an emotional message that

• I attached to two pictures of

• them dancing together.

Jill Biden wrote in her tweet

"I don't want to dance with anyone else. Happy birthday Joe! I love you ".

Unlike this tweet

• the White House has not issued any statement

• or publication on the President's birthday.

• It was unclear how Biden would celebrate his birthday

• or whether he would do so essentially.

But Biden celebrated Saturday at the White House with his granddaughter Naomi's wedding, in a ceremony that did not allow the press to attend.

Biden's 80 years of age does not seem uncommon in a political class where young faces are so scarce as to be called elderly power by many.

For example, outgoing Speaker Nancy Pelosi is 82

while Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is only two years younger, while Senate Majority Democrat Chuck Schumer is soon celebrating his 72nd birthday.

The slim president

who does not smoke or drink alcohol, is still physically active and has not had any major health problems since he underwent an operation after a life-threatening aneurysm in 1988.

A year ago

after an extensive medical examination, doctors said Biden had a few minor illnesses and concluded that he was "capable of doing his duties."

Although it is the first time in the history of the United States that a sitting president has reached his eightieth year, Joe Biden, whose age is controversial and he is considering running for a new term, has not demoralized this occasion.

The White House

has not issued a statement or publication on the president's birthday, and it is unclear how Biden will celebrate his birthday or whether he will do so primarily.
