Earlier in the day, The Washington Post reported that the Trump campaign requested military aircraft for Trump to use for transportation during the final weeks of the campaign.
"I've told the department to give him every single thing he needs as if he were any sitting president. If it fits within that category, that's fine," Biden told reporters.
Biden jokingly added "as long as he doesn't ask for F-15s."
