Donald Trump said Tuesday evening that he'd love fight Vice President Joe Biden.

The vice president made headlines last week after he responded angrily to recent allegations that Trump had sexually assaulted nearly a dozen women.

"What he said he did and does is a textbook definition of sexual assault," Biden said at a Clinton campaign stop in Wilkes-Barres, Pa. "Think about this. It's more than that. He said because I'm famous, because I'm a star, because I'm a billionaire, I can do things other people can't! What a disgusting assertion for anyone to make!"

The vice president added, "The press always asks me, don't I wish I were debating him. No, I wish we were in high school. I could take him behind the gym."

"That's what I wish," he added to cheers and applause.



On Tuesday, Trump said he'd love to go a couple rounds with the vice president.

"Did you see where Biden wants to take me to the back of the barn? Me. He wants to. I'd love that. I'd love that. Mr. Tough Guy. You know, he's Mr. Tough Guy," the GOP nominee said at a campaign stop in Tallahassee, Fla. "He wants to bring me to the back of the barn. Oh, some things in life you could really love doing."

"You know when he's Mr. Tough Guy? When he's standing behind the microphone by himself. That's when," Trump said into the microphone as he stood alone on stage.

He added, "And, by the way, if I said that, [the media would] say, 'He's violent! How could he have done that?'"

The recent allegations against Trump started after the Washington Post published a report revealing that the GOP nominee once bragged about sexually accosting women.

The Post released a video from 2005 that showed Trump saying to former "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush, "You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait."

"And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything." "Grab them by the pussy," Trump said. "You can do anything."

Trump has sought to downplay the audio by dismissing it as nothing more than "locker room talk."

"[T]his was locker room talk. I'm not proud of it. I apologize to my family. I apologize to the American people. Certainly I'm not proud of it. But this is locker room talk," he said at the second presidential debate.

He added later in an interview on Fox New, "First of all, locker room talk, and most people have heard it before, and I've had a lot of women come up to me and say, 'Boy, I've heard that, and I've heard a lot worse than that over my life.'"
