President Joe Biden, in an exclusive interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, acknowledged last week's debate was a "bad episode" but pushed back strongly against broader questions about his age and mental fitness.
"Are you the same man today that you were when you took office three-and-a-half years ago?" Stephanopoulos asked.
"In terms of successes, yes," Biden responded. "I also was the guy who put together a peace plan for the Middle East that may be comin' to fruition. I was also the guy that expanded NATO. I was also the guy that grew the economy. All the individual things that were done were ideas I had or I fulfilled. I moved on."
"Do you dispute that there have been more lapses, especially in the last several months?" Stephanopoulos asked.
"Can I run the 100 in 10 flat? No. But I'm still in good shape," Biden said.
Stephanopoulos followed up, asking, "Are you more frail?"
"No," Biden said, flatly.
"Do you have the mental and physical capacity to do it for another four years?" Stephanopoulos asked.
"I believe so. I wouldn't be runnin' if I didn't think I did," Biden said. "Look, I'm runnin' again because I think I understand best what has to be done to take this nation to a completely new new level. We're on our way. We're on our way. And, look. The decision recently made by the Supreme Court on immunity, you know, the next President of the United States, it's not just about whether he or she knows what they're doin'.
"It's-- it's-- it's not-- not about a con-- a conglomerate of people making decisions," Biden continued. "It's about the character of the president. The character of the president's gonna determine whether or not this Constitution is employed the right way."

Did he ask if he was a 6 handicap?
Indeed. He was talking about immunity and ‘the next president’.
I thought he was (correctly) stating Trump would be the next president.
Great movie. Watched that again a couple of months ago. It’s worth the watch.
And what evidence is there that the Democrats would not off him to get rid the the drag on the rest of the Democrats running down ticket?
I watched this interview, and I’m convinced now that the ‘powers that be’ have decided to throw Joe under the bus.
Methinks Old Joe thinks the Lord is Jill.
Trump needs to worry about his own potrntial demise.
.
God Almighty ... someone could get in his ear piece and do a Charlton Hesston imitation and convince him. Don’t you suppose?
That’s why I wrote if if he dies it needs to be in public on tv. I should have added “of natural causes” because if the the Democrats kill him they’ll try and blame Trump and I don’t want that.
There was an incident on Air Force 1 within the hour.
Good for him! Hang in there FJB! Go FJB go! Damage goods, baby, damage goods!
I think Jill would kill him for the right price.
Me thinks his unholy trinity is Hunter, Jill, and Hussein.
A fentanyl overdose would be ironic.
With all the bizarre things he’s been saying (in between the garbled nonsense) it’s more than obvious that his brain is fried. He might just drop out by next week. There’s no way he can serve as President another four years.
I fear for the short-term survival of our nation. Dear Lord, save us!
Matthew 4:
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”
Why is George S. badgering that poor old man. He needs to leave him alone.
