Disney Will Lay Off 28,000 Employees As California Governor Refuses To Provide Reopening Guidelines

I looked up when the Presidential candidates were born.  Bob Dole was born July 22, 1923 and is the oldest candidate who's still alive.  Jimmy Carter was born August 1, 1924, Walter Mondale was born January 5, 1928 and Michael Dukakis was born November 3, 1933.  They are the only ones who have ever ran for President who are still alive now and older than Joe Biden now.  Bush Sr., John McCain and Ross Perot were born before Biden but they're dead.

Obama is obviously the youngest, born 13 years and four months after the second youngest, Al Gore.  I only went back to the first Nixon election but it's odd that not a single candidate was born in the 1950s and for some reason that doesn't seem likely to change in the future.  If we're still doing elections four years from now, I doubt anyone will have been in that decade.  I didn't check Veep candidates unless they ran for President later, but Kamala Harris was born even later than Obama.  Amusing to note that decade is being dropped.
