David Reckless didn't hesitate when asked about the main difference between being 80 and 88 years old.

"Energy."

"I used to be more or less the energy bunny," the 88-year-old said, looking down over a model train set in Zelienople, Pennsylvania. Now, not so much. "More naps in my day. That kind of thing."

The question of age is looming over next year's presidential election, because President Joe Biden, who's 80 now, is running for a second term. And his most likely opponent, according to just about every poll of the Republican primary field, would be former President Donald Trump, who's 77.

If you measure both men's age from the day they first took office, that means Americans will likely choose between the country's oldest-ever president, and its second oldest.
