President Joe Biden on Friday reiterated his intention to seek a second term in an exclusive interview with ABC News anchor David Muir, and while he said it is "legitimate" for people to raise questions about his age, he said it is not part of his calculation on whether to seek reelection.

While Biden once again said he intends to run, he also hinted that the announcement could be a ways off, ABC News reported.

"[M]y intention is -- from-- has -- intention has been from the beginning to run. But there's too many other things we have to finish in the near term before I start a campaign," he told Muir at the White House.

At age 80, Biden is the oldest serving president in U.S. history and questions about his age that followed him during his 2020 campaign have continued throughout his presidency.

"Let me ask you about a conversation that people are having -- at home, both your supporters, and your critics. They know that if you're reelected, you would be 82 when you're sworn in. You'd be -- 86 at the end of your term. Is your age part of your own calculation into whether to run again?" Muir pressed Biden.

"No. 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 answered.

Biden's comments come after first lady Jill Biden weighed in on a possible reelection campaign in an interview Friday with the Associated Press during a trip to Africa.
