WASHINGTON — Jimmy Carter lived longer than any other U.S. president in history and was the first of any of them to turn 100 years old.
Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981.
With his passing, the person that’s now the oldest living president — current or former — resides in the White House.
Who are the oldest living presidents?
President Joe Biden turned 82 last month, further cementing his status as the oldest serving U.S. president. But it’s a record that Donald Trump could break in a few years.
President-elect Trump will become the oldest person ever sworn into office on Jan. 20, 2025. That’s a milestone previously held by Biden when he was sworn in at age 78 back in 2021.
On Inauguration Day, Trump will be six months from his 79th birthday.
When Biden’s presidency ends on Jan. 20, 2025, he will be 82 years and 2 months (or 30,012 days) old.
Trump would break that record of being the oldest U.S. president toward the end of his second term on Aug. 15, 2028.
We’re a ways away from any other living U.S. president even coming close to Carter’s record. Biden wouldn’t celebrate his 100th birthday until Nov. 20, 2042.
