In an interview with Black Entertainment Television, Joe Biden was asked what would it take for him to consider dropping out of the presidential race.
Biden responded that he would considering dropping out if one of his doctors diagnosed him with “some medical condition”.
Here’s the report from the NY Post:
President Biden said in a new interview that he would consider dropping out if he was diagnosed with a “medical condition” by doctors — giving his clearest sign yet of faltering in his insistence he will seek a second term.
The 81-year-old president made the remark in a BET interview taped Tuesday when asked what it would take to prompt him to reconsider his candidacy.
“If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,” Biden said in an excerpt released Wednesday.
Many doctors who studied Biden’s public remarks said he may have Parkinson’s disease or a related condition.
The Post thinks this is Biden faltering, but I’m not so sure. I think he’s just throwing out something else that he thinks is impossible between now and November.
Also, poor Biden. Everywhere he goes they ask him about dropping out. I’m sure it’s driving him mad…
