He is the oldest sitting president in history and would be 86 at the end of his second term if he wins again in 2024.<\/p>\n A recent ABC News\/Washington Post poll found that 62 to 33 percent of Americans said they thought Biden was not physically healthy enough to serve effectively.<\/p>\n Asked about his age after announcing he would run again, Biden said it will be up to voters to judge “whether or not I’ve got it or not.”<\/p>\n “I respect them they take a hard look, I would take a hard look at it too. I looked at it carefully before I decided to run and I feel good. I feel excited about the prospects,” he told the senior correspondent of the ABC’s Mary Bruce White House in April.<\/p>\n Former President Donald Trump, who would also be 80 if elected, responded that he was told of Biden’s fall while campaigning in Iowa.<\/p>\n “I hope he’s not hurt. It’s all crazy … even if you have to tiptoe down the ramp,” he said, poking fun at his own experience at the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2020 when it was prudent. the descent down a ramp opened him up to similar criticism about his age.<\/p>\n “At the Air Force Academy? That’s not inspiring,” Trump added.<\/p>\n President Joe Biden greets graduating cadets during a graduation ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy north of Colorado Springs, Colo., June 1.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Brendan Smialowski\/AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n When he spoke to the graduates, Biden celebrated their work even as he laid out the challenges ahead.<\/p>\n “We have the best military in the history of the world,” he said. “And you’ve earned it. Today is the day to celebrate. And as commander in chief, I’m honored to be here as you assume the duties of serving and defending our nation.”<\/p>\n “In years to come, you will be asking for even more,” he continued. “You will take on more responsibilities and challenge yourself even beyond anything you have experienced.”<\/p>\n ABC News’ Libby Cathey and Gary Langer contributed to this report.<\/p>\n![\"PHOTO:](\"https:\/\/s.abcnews.com\/images\/Politics\/biden-fall-point-ap-ps-230601_1685648991529_hpEmbed_3x2_992.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
