ABC News' David Muir recently asked Biden if the growing concerns over his age, from both critics and supporters, will be a deciding factor in his decision to seek re-election.

"No," the president stated. "But it’s legitimate for people to raise issues about my age. It’s totally legitimate to do that. And the only thing I can say is watch me."

Biden, who will be 82 at the time of the next election and 86 at the end of his second term as president if re-elected, has faced concerns over whether he will be fit to serve another full term as president.

The president recently underwent his annual physical exam where he was deemed fit to serve, but the public evaluation was missing the results of Biden's mental status.

"This physical exam is more significant for what it leaves out than what it actually tells us," Dr. Marc Siegel told Fox News Digital after noticing his cognitive tests were left out of the report.
