Joe Biden Would Reevaluate Campaign if Doctors Flagged Medical Issue

President Joe Biden said Tuesday he would reevaluate his candidacy for president if his doctors told him he had a medical issue.

Biden’s comment is the first time he “opened the door to a theoretical medical condition forcing him from the presidential race,” according to Politico. Biden previously said that only the “Lord Almighty” could force him from the race.

“If I had some medical condition that emerged,” Biden told BET News’s Ed Gordon upon being asked if he would reconsider his decision to stay in the race. “If doctors came to me and said, ‘You got this problem, that problem.’”

Biden, whom many are trying to remove from the ticket, added that he is not a transitional candidate, as he once promised the party.

“I said I was going to be a transitional candidate, and I thought I’d be able to move on from this, pass it on to someone else,” he said. “But I didn’t anticipate things getting so, so, so divided. Quite frankly, I think the only thing age brings [is] a little bit of wisdom, and I think I’ve demonstrated that I know how to get things done for the country.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Would Reevaluate Campaign if Doctors Flagged Medical Issue” HERE)
