“I think it’s a legitimate question to ask anyone over the age of 70 if they are fit, they are ready,” said Biden, who would be the oldest president ever elected, ABC’s David Muir said in an interview aired Sunday night. “But… Look at me.”
Muir referred to the 77-year-old’s own description of himself as a ‘transition candidate’, and asked if that meant Biden started him on one term.
“No, it does not mean that,” Biden replied.
“So you open up the possibility that you will serve eight years?” Frege Muir.
“Absolutely,” Biden replied.
