President Biden said in an interview released on Wednesday that he would re-evaluate whether to stay in the presidential race if a doctor told him directly that he had a medical condition that made that necessary.
Mr. Biden has said repeatedly that none of his doctors have told him he has a serious medical condition. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the White House physician, wrote after the president’s physical in February that Mr. Biden is “a healthy, active, robust, 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”
But his disastrous performance at a debate with former President Donald J. Trump last month, which prompted a wave of calls by Democratic allies to step aside, raised questions about his health and acuity.
My money’s on Newsom.

That’d be pretty electorally disadvantageous. Both names on the ticket from the same already guaranteed to be blue state.
I don’t know who it would be, but Newsome would be pretty far down on my list of options.
President and VP can’t be from the same state. More precisely, electors can’t vote for both a president and VP from the same state as themselves.
Hmmmm…
