Joe Biden may be leaving the White House in January, but he may very well come back, he told reporters Monday.

According to CNN, when reporters jokingly asked Biden if he'd run for office again, he said, "Yeah, I am. I'm going to run in 2020."

When reporters asked him to clarify for what position, just to be crystal clear, he said: "For president. What the hell, man." A very Joe Biden response.

The obviously stunned reporters told Biden that they would be publishing his quotes, to which he responded, "That's OK."

Biden told CNN that he loved being in the Senate and that it's a "great feeling to come back" because he "love[s] this place." However, later, Biden backtracked a tiny bit by saying, "I'm not committing not to run. I'm not committing to anything. I learned a long time ago fate has a strange way of intervening."
