President Biden aggressively brushed off concerns about his age during a newly released interview.
In the interview, the reporter noted that Biden is 81 and would be 86 by the time he left office if he is reelected, pointing out that some voters in the U.S. believe he is too old to lead.
"I can do it better than anybody you know," Biden responded, according to the transcript released by Time Magazine. "You're looking at me, I can take you too."
Biden said he didn't consider not running because of his age.
"Watch me. Look, name me a president that's gotten as much done as I've gotten done in my first three and a half years," Biden said.
Biden 2nd Term Goals
The president said his goal if reelected is to "finish what I started in the first term."
Biden is expected to face Donald Trump in rematch in the November election.
Trump faces his own questions about age. At 77, he has made several gaffees during campaign rallies, including refering to President Obama when he meant to talk about President Trump.
Kennedy Is Touting His Younger Age
Robert F. Kennedy, 70, is running for president as an independent and has touted his younger age and health as reasons to vote for him over Biden and Trump.
He has his own health question after it was uncovered that Kennedy once claimed he had a worm that ate part of his brain before dying inside his head.
Presidential Election Poll
Polls show that Trump has a small lead over Biden in the race but the election could come down to the vote in a small number of swing states.
