Biden says he might quit presidential race if 'medical condition' emerged

• President Joe Biden said in a new interview that he might reconsider his decision to stay in the race against Donald Trump if a "medical condition" emerged.
• Biden, 81, has come under increasing pressure from members of his own party to withdraw from the race following his disastrous debate with Trump, 78.

President Joe Biden said in an interview airing Wednesday that he might reconsider his decision to stay in the race against Donald Trump if a medical condition emerged.

"Is there anything that you would look to you, personally...to say, 'if I see that, I will reevaluate?'" BET host Ed Gordon asked Biden in an interview conducted Tuesday.

"If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, 'you got this problem, that problem,'" Biden replied, according to a video clip shared Wednesday ahead of the broadcast.

Biden, 81, has come under increasing pressure from members of his own party to withdraw from the race following his disastrous debate with Trump, 78, in late June.

Earlier Wednesday, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, who is heavily favored to win the powerful state's coveted U.S. Senate seat in November, urged Biden to step aside.
