President Biden revealed the one thing that he says would drive him to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, amid a growing chorus of Democrats calling for him to step aside.

Biden's remarks on Tuesday — which came during an interview with Black Entertainment Television (BET) — are part of a media blitz by the president, whose poll numbers have continued to drop after a much-criticized performance in a June debate against former President Donald Trump.

"If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, the doctors came and said you've got this problem, that problem," Biden told BET's Ed Gordon. "But I made a serious mistake in the whole debate and, look, when I originally ran, you might remember it, I said I was gonna be a transitional candidate. I thought that I would be able to move from this, to pass it on to somebody else. But I didn't anticipate things getting so, so, so divided."
