The 82-year-old Biden, who is leaving the post of president on January 20, was asked by USA Today if he thought it was realistic to believe that he could have beaten Donald Trump in the presidential election in November.
Yes, I believe it, answers Biden.
I really believed I had the best chance of beating him. But I wasn't after being president when I was 85 years old, 86 years old. So I talked about handing over the baton.
But I don't know. Who the hell knows?
Biden is the oldest president in the US so far, and before he withdrew from the presidential election campaign, questions were raised about his mental ability. Among other things, his performance in the presidential debate last summer was described as shaky and incoherent.
After Biden stepped aside, Vice President Kamala Harris took over as the Democratic presidential candidate, less than four months before the election.
