It's pretty clear in people's profiles of his decision to run that even he agreed 2016 was his realistic last shot and he is objectively too old now But ran in 2020 anyway as the best chance to save the country (because no one else had the automatic cachet of being Obama's VP)

When you really think about it, it's not totally out of the realm of a possibility that an AI given access to the internet and fed a database containing biographical information about all Americans and programmed to find the ideal running mate for Biden would up choosing me

It would be one of those weird edge case errors where the AI overlooked the fact that you're not old enough
