Even the betting markets shifted, showing the probability of Biden dropping out at an all-time high. > That was exacerbated by an interview where the president said he would drop out if a medical issue arose. Still, I offered some words of caution on that front. >> With all that said, my money is still, for the moment at least, on Biden staying in the race. There's now a path for me to be wrong, but I won't believe Jill Biden will concede the White House until it happens. There is also a long list of handlers who derive their living from Biden who aren't going to want to go quietly. Further, he can't simply leave the presidential race. He'd have to resign the presidency as well. After all, how can you be too senile to run for president but not too senile to be president? >> The machinations that would need to happen going forward are almost unfathomable.
