After weeks of standing firm that nothing but the Lord Almighty could get in the way of his candidacy, US President Joe Biden has changed his tune, telling BET News on Tuesday that he would consider dropping out of the race "if I had some medical condition that emerged".
Hours after the BET clip ran, Biden came down with Covid-19, causing him to cancel his Nevada campaign event so that he could isolate.
His softer stance on whether or not he will stay in the race also came after California Rep. Adam Schiff called for Biden to "pass the torch… and in doing so, secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election".
[FYI, Schiff, a close ally of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is the twenty-third Democrat in Congress to call for the president to exit the race].
On Wednesday, Biden had claimed Kamala Harris would make a good president.
