Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he is open to the possibility of serving two full terms, or eight years, if he is elected as president in November.

“I think its a legitimate question to ask anyone over 70 years old if theyre fit, theyre ready,” Biden, who would be the oldest person to be elected president in U.S. history, told ABC News on Sunday. “But … watch me,” he added.

And thats about raising people up. And thats what Im about.”

Bidens wife, Jill, said in interviews this week that the attacks on her husband are unfounded.
