Biden’s Exit Plan: Bad Health Diagnosis?

President Biden recently dropped a bombshell in a pre-taped interview with BET News, stating that he might consider bowing out of the 2024 presidential race if diagnosed with a “medical condition.” The revelation comes at a time when Biden is already facing mounting pressure from within his own party to step aside, following what can only be described as a catastrophic debate performance last month. The whispers about his age and fitness for office have turned into a loud chorus, and this latest interview seems like an attempt to calm the storm.

Why does this matter? Well, Biden is scrambling to reassure everyone about his mental sharpness after that debate debacle. The interview, which airs tonight at 10 PM ET, is part of a media blitz to address concerns about his capability to lead. But let’s be real, a lot of people are skeptical. Hours before the interview snippet was released, the White House confirmed that Biden tested positive for COVID and was experiencing mild symptoms. Talk about timing.

In the interview, Biden said he’d reconsider his campaign if a medical condition cropped up. “If doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,” he explained. It’s almost as if he’s setting the stage for a graceful exit, should things go south. He also reminded everyone that he ran as a “transitional candidate,” implying he always intended to hand over the reins to someone else eventually. But, surprise surprise, he didn’t anticipate how divided the country would become. And now, he’s apparently reluctant to walk away from the job.

Since the disastrous debate, Biden has been adamant that he’s staying in the race, despite top Democrats and regular voters alike hoping he’d reconsider. He even told ABC News earlier this month that he’d only step aside if the “Lord Almighty” commanded it. Talk about divine intervention. In other interviews, he dismissed the idea of taking a cognitive test, claiming his “mental acuity’s been pretty damn good.” Well, that’s one way to put it.

The question of Biden’s suitability as the Democratic nominee has thrown the party into chaos. Just this week, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) became the highest-profile Democrat to suggest Biden should withdraw. A new poll reveals nearly two-thirds of Democratic voters want Biden to drop out. The rebellion within the party is gaining momentum, and it looks like the president’s reassurances aren’t cutting it. As the 2024 race heats up, Biden’s health and capability will continue to be a hot topic, with the stakes higher than ever.
