Biden claimed success in various areas like Middle East peace plans and NATO expansion, attributing these achievements to his leadership and ideas. When pressed about recent lapses and his physical condition, Biden insisted he was in good shape and denied being more frail.
“Are you the same man today that you were when you took office three-and-a-half years ago?” Stephanopoulos asked.
“In terms of successes, yes,” Biden said. “I also was the guy who put together a peace plan for the Middle East that may be comin’ to fruition. I was also the guy that expanded NATO. I was also the guy that grew the economy. All the individual things that were done were ideas I had or I fulfilled. I moved on.”
“Do you dispute that there have been more lapses, especially in the last several months?” Stephanopoulos asked.
“Can I run the 100 in 10 flat? No. But I’m still in good shape,” Biden said.
Stephanopoulos pressed Biden, “Are you more frail?”
“No,” Biden said.
Stephanopoulos questioned Biden’s honesty regarding his mental state, to which Biden affirmed he was being truthful. He expressed determination to continue unless convinced otherwise, even suggesting he’d consider stepping down if “the Lord Almighty” told him to.
“Yes, I am, because, George, the last thing I want to do is not be able to meet that,” Biden said. “I think, as some of senior economists and senior foreign policy specialists say, if I stop now, I go down in history as a pretty successful president. No one thought I could get done what we got done.”
“If you can be convinced that you cannot defeat Donald Trump, will you stand down?” Stephanopoulos asked.
Biden said he will drop out of the race if God comes down and tells him to.
“It depends on — on if the Lord Almighty comes down and tells me that, I might do that,” Biden said.>>>CONTINUE FULL READING HERE
