    Based on life expectancy calculators I'd say its north of 85%.

    He has a 75% chance of living to 86 which would get him through two terms.

      Uncle Joe is 77 now, living in a nation with male life expectancy of 78.5 years.
      But that's before you take into account Uncle Joe's socioeconomic status.
      If you look at US male in the top quartile by economic income, a category in which Uncle Joe easily qualifies, the life expectancy there is over 87 years.
      Uncle Joe will likely outlives his first term.

      Heck, Jimmy Carter is 96 and he is still around.

        We learned that we are truly a divided country. We learned that a progressive agenda won’t fly. That is all that matters.

        The fact that Trump came so close given 4 years of carpet bombing tells you the GOP is still very very relevant.

        The Senate holds and picks up seats in 2 years.

          Dude, you don't use life expectancy at birth to calculate the life expectancy of a 77 year old.

          You look at tables that show survival conditional on having already lived to 77.

          That's what I did. The actual expectancy (given the demographic data it asked for) put it at 92.

            Yes, that's a better method. Good for Uncle Joe.

              I think chances are he will make it.

              But 2024 is the year of Nikki Haley, unless Harris gets in and removes the appetite for a woman, which I think she could. 2024 could well be Haley-Harris, as Biden will not run for a second term.

                The interesting thing will be how Biden treats Harris. She is exceedingly ambitious, so I suspect he will relegate her to funerals, etc. A long, long arms length.

                  The bigger issue isn’t physical health, but mental. I could see him stepping down around midterms.

                      @jon-nyc yes the life expectancy is long, but being alive doesn’t translate into being fit enough to handle the most demanding job on the planet.

                      I’m amazed that he kept up a full scale campaign.

                        Perhaps. But remember - romance starts with a heart and a ring but ends with a club and a spade.

                                  according to th 22nd amendment, if Harris succeeds Biden during this term, and she is prez for two years, she can only be elected for one more term. If she succeeds him in the third year, she can be prez theoretically for up to ten years. Interesting.

                                    I think Biden's mother & father were about 93 & 87 when they died, so realistically I'd add a year of two for a healthy son...

                                        I hear one of his first priorities is to make peace with the Confederacy, and then beat the USSR to the moon.
