Has Bernie indicated one way or the other if he wants/expects to be a 2-term president?

What about Biden? Do either of those two have expectations or desires to be two-term presidents?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

has indicated, but if asked I'm sure he would not limit himself to a single term. That said, I doubt there is a first term in the cards for Sanders.
VP Biden on the other hand, has indicated he would be up for two terms. In this USA Today article it says "Biden, who would be 78 on Inauguration Day 2021, said in an interview on ABC’s “The View” that it is fair for voters to ask questions about his age as they weigh his candidacy. Asked if he would only serve a single term if elected, Biden said, "No."
