At the time, Dan Quayle was 41 and a US Senator (JFK was 44 when inaugurated) Buttigieg is 38 and his highest level of elected officer is Mayor of South Bend I'm amazed none of the Boomers he's running against has used that line on him

wouldn't that be oldest at inauguration date? trump already did that anyway, being a few months older than Reagan when they each officially took office for the first time. personally my favourite democrat nominee is Warren then Sanders, but i'm Australian so who cares?
-
No, Biden, Sanders and Bloomberg are all currently 78, Reagan was 78 when he left office If any of them wins and is inaugurated in January they'll be 79
