President Joe Biden claimed during an interview on Friday that he is capable of serving as President of the United States for another four years even though 80% of Americans believe that he is too old to be president.

Biden made the remarks when asked by ABC News host George Stephanopoulos whether he thinks that he can serve “effectively” for another term.

“I’m the guy that put NATO together, the future,” Biden claimed. “No one thought I could expand it. I’m the guy that shut Putin down. No one thought could happen. I’m the guy that put together a South Pacific initiative with AUKUS. I’m the guy that got 50 nations out– not only in Europe, outside of Europe as well to help Ukraine.”

It’s not clear what he was referring to when he made the remarks about Putin as Russia ignored Biden and invaded Ukraine despite his threats. Putin remains in control of Russia and he has shown no signs of ending his war.

“I’m the guy that got [the] Japanese to expand their budget. I’m the– so, I mean, these– and, for example, when I decided we used to have 40% of computer chips,” he said. “We invented the chip, the little chip, the computer chip. It’s in everything from cell phone to weapons. And so, we used to have 40%, and we’re down to virtually nothing. So I get in the plane, against the advice of everybody, and I fly to South Korea. I convince them to invest in the United States billions of dollars. Now we have tens of billions of dollars being invested in the United States making us back in a position we’re gonna own that industry again.”

When asked if he had the mental and physical capacity to be president for another four years, Biden said: “I believe so, I wouldn’t be runnin’ if I didn’t think I did. 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’,” he claimed. “It’s– it’s– it’s not– not about a con– a conglomerate of people making decisions. 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.”

When asked if he was being honest with himself about his status, Biden replied: “Yes, I am, because, George, the last thing I want to do is not be able to meet that. I think, as some of senior economist and senior foreign policy specialists say, if I stop now, I’d go down in history as a pretty successful president. No one thought I could get done what we got done.”

Stephanopoulos: “All that takes a toll. Do you have the mental and physical capacity to do it for another four years?”

President Joe Biden repeatedly refused to commit to having an independent medical evaluation of his neurological and cognitive functions as he tries to stave off an effort from inside his party to remove him from the top of the ticket.

Biden made the remarks during a Friday interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos following his disastrous debate performance last week against former President Donald Trump.

The 81-year-old said that he could not run a 100-yard dash in 10 seconds flat, but he was “still in good shape.”

He said that his doctors told him following the debate that he was just “exhausted” and that his doctors travel with him everywhere he goes.

“I have an ongoing assessment of what I’m doin’, and they don’t hesitate to tell me if they think there’s something wrong,” he claimed.

When asked if he’s had a “a full neurological and cognitive evaluation,” Biden said that he gets “a full neurological test every day” with performing the job of being president.

When asked if he’s had “specific cognitive tests” performed by a neurologist, Biden said: “No. No one said I had to. No one said. They said I’m good.”

“Would you be willing to undergo an independent medical evaluation that included neurological and cognitive tests and release the results to the American people?” Stephanopoulos asked.

“I have a cognitive test every single day,” Biden claimed. “Every day I have that test. Everything I do. You know, not only am I campaigning, but I’m running the world. Not– and that’s not hi– sounds like hyperbole, but we are the essential nation of the world.”

Biden was again asked if he would be willing to have an independent medical evaluation done to “reassure” the American people, to which he deflected: “Watch me between– there’s a lotta time left in this campaign. There’s over 125 days. They’ll make a decision.”

He then claimed that he’s “already done it.”
