Reporter Asks Biden: ‘Would You Drop Out if Trump Drops Out?’ (VIDEO)

President Joe Biden was asked if he would drop out of the race if Donald Trump dropped out while speaking to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House on Tuesday evening.


Speaking at a fundraiser earlier in the day, Biden had said, "If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running. But we cannot let him win for the sake of the country."

Biden was pressed for more details by a reporter as he stepped off Marine One.

"Would you be running for President if Trump wasn’t running?" the reporter asked.

"I expect so but look," Biden replied. "He is running and I have to run."

The reporter followed up, "Would you drop out if Trump drops out?"

"No, not now," Biden replied.


Trump responded to Biden's comment during a town hall with Sean Hannity on Tuesday evening, saying, “Well I think somebody gave him a talking point.”


Trump has maintained his status as the clear frontrunner throughout his campaign for the Republican primary.

According to the RealClearPolitics current average of polls, Trump has 61.3 percent support — distantly followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with 13.2, Nikki Haley with 10.2 percent, and Vivek Ramaswamy with five percent.

When looking at hypothetical general election matchups, Trump leads Biden 46.7 percent to 44.7 percent.

A DeSantis versus Biden election has a similar result, with 46.8 percent supporting the governor and 45.8 percent supporting the president.
