President Biden said in a new interview that he would consider dropping out if he was diagnosed with a “medical condition” by doctors — giving the clearest indication yet that he may be faltering in his vow to 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.

He seriously doesn't think he has a medical problem? Is Jill is feeding him Gerber's baby food?

I've just sent a gift to Despicable Joe's shunned granddaughter - - Navy. It's the Fischer-Price Preschool Pretend Play Medical Kit Seven-Piece Doctor Bag Dress Up Toys For Kids Ages 3+ Years.
Navy can use it to finally meet Gramps - - and do a pretend medical checkup. I'll go along with whatever diagnosis Navy comes up with.

Biden: I am fine.
Biden: I am fine.
Biden: I am fine.
DNC: You are going to get your butt kicked.
Biden: If my doctor says I am unfit for office, I will resign.

Biden is holding out for a large and I mean large like $1 Billion donation to his library fund and the Beau Biden Foundation which will allow him to give high paying, lifelong, no show jobs to all of his deadbeat family members.
Remember, not one adult in his immediate family has a full time job.

Joey should stay away from the ice cream man in Ft. Macy Park.

He’ll be the honorable elder statesman with a Parkinson’s diagnosis. Everyone will be so sad and amazed at his sacrifice. He will never take responsibility for anything. And the press will get a pass for lying to us all these years about his health. The Dems were never going to just give up and cede the election.
But if he’s that bad, he should resign from office. He still has 6 months to start WWIII. But that will never happen. Resigning. The war, not so sure.

just waiting for the next shoe to drop. Maybe Dr. Jill will be diagnosed with some life threatening illness and Biden can't possibly campaign and govern while she is sick.

Well, that's the problem. The only doctor Biden recognizes is the missis, and she said he is all right.
He answered "all the questions", didn't he?

He is either lying or doesn't think his doctors will ever declare him unfit.

Don't you quit Joey baby. Keep listening to DR. Jill and your crackhead son. Your uncle didn't get eaten by cannibals just so you could be a quitter.

A total non-statement. He only says he would 'consider'.
Joe often makes these nothing remarks and they get reported as terribly significant.

They must be getting closer to the $ figure Jill requires for them to leave.

Anyone but me sorry to see old Joe go? Let me explain. He is the absolute worst President we have had, bar none. He is just an awful human being. He is the existential threat to this country. However, better the devil you know than the one you don’t.
If he steps down the media will gleefully anoint another one whom we have been waiting for with gusto! He/she will be without comparison. They will gush over his replacement nonstop. It will be a push like we have never seen and that worries me. All they have to do is put up a viable candidate and they will cheat their way, once again, to the White House. It’s their playbook.
Right now they know Joe has lost the people’s trust but what they will hide from the people is that the next person will be even worse and that is a scary thought. They have to do something because they know Joe cannot win. Expect the worst from them and you will not be disappointed. The shenanigans they are going to come up to produce a candidate that they convince the public can win, will be epic. They will cheat their way to victory and would have kept old Joe on but he is quickly progressing into the last stages of Alzheimer’s/dementia. All the country knows it. After everything they have shown us that they are capable of, I put nothing past them because they know they cannot allow President Trump to return to the White House.
If they stay with Kamala Harris, never mind. She is a disaster that I do not believe they can put enough lipstick on to make her viable.

The longer that Joe refuses to leave the White House, the worse dilemma the dazed and confused democrats find themselves in. C'mon, Joe, you hang in there, keep fighting logic, common sense and those extremists who want to spoil all your fun. I know that seven days a week at the beach sounds good but you hang in there!

Biden the cheater's dropping out is one thing, but resigning and putting Kamalie in charge is entirely another. In either case, I expect this affirmative action hire to make it clear she will be at the top of the ticket, and she will nominate the vp. You can be sure that the dim apparatus is war-gaming this whole thing with the help of AI to plot its evil way forward.
Notice how fast the msm got the attempted assassination of Trump out of the new cycle? Just in time for biden the cheater's announcement.

My Spidey sense tells me Joe is looking for an out. And this COVID blast-from-the-past could be his ticket to ride a Delaware bound train.

I agree with #22, as I frequently do. The Dems are poll testing the least undesirable emergency candidates. A back bencher will be called late in the game so we won't know anything about their citizenship, who the father was, what credentials they have, whose Social Security number they're using, nor their policies.
It's worked for them before.

The bidet trash has not been offered enough money for him to drop out. This sleaze family has been after cheap money all day long.

This surprised me. The pressure on him to drop out is still building. He lost schiff-head who's in a close race with baseball ledgend Steve Garvey. Maybe he's done??
