Former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading Democratic presidential contender, said that he was likely wrong to have challenged an Iowa voter to a pushup contest when the man queried him about his son and alleged that he was too old to run for president.

“I probably shouldn’t have challenged him to pushups,” Biden told reporters in Iowa on Dec. 6.
