President Joe Biden is firmly committed to running in the 2024 presidential race. However, he has hinted at a few situations that might make him reconsider.
In an interview with ABC News, Biden said he believes he is the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump. When asked if he would step down if convinced he couldn’t beat Trump, Biden joked that only divine intervention could make him reconsider.
During a NATO summit press conference, Biden was asked if he would step aside if polls showed Vice President Kamala Harris was a stronger candidate. He said no, unless there was clear evidence he couldn’t win.
In a lighter moment with Complex host Speedy Morman, Biden said he would definitely be on the ballot unless something drastic, like being hit by a train, happened.
In an interview with BET journalist Ed Gordon, Biden mentioned that a serious medical condition could also make him reconsider his run. Despite his age, Biden’s doctor has confirmed he is fit to serve, with no signs of serious health issues.
Biden recently tested positive for COVID-19, causing him to cancel a meeting in Nevada. This diagnosis comes as he seeks to strengthen support among key voter groups.
