Biden says he’d re-evaluate staying in the race if diagnosed with a medical condition

SUMMARY

President Joe Biden indicated in a BET News interview that he would re-evaluate his decision to continue his campaign if doctors diagnosed him with a medical condition. Biden has faced mounting pressure from fellow Democrats to drop out of the race following his poor debate performance last month, which heightened concerns about his age and mental capabilities. He stated, “If I have some medical condition that emerged... If the doctors came to me and said you got this problem, that problem.” During the interview, Biden made several notable verbal errors, such as forgetting the names of former President Herbert Hoover and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and mistaking Sen. JD Vance's name, referring to him as “Mance.”
