0.7%
He lost the confidence of his party (e.g. cites electeds)
0.3%
He won't be able to raise money (e.g. cites donors)
1.0%
He lost the confidence of (dem) voters (e.g. cites opinion polls)
0.7%
He wants to retire / spend time with his family
5%
Admission of health or age issues
0.2%
This has been his plan all along
0.3%
Other (last resort)

Selecting only one option, based on the primary answer Biden gives when he drops out and in the week following. If Biden himself doesn't answer, I'll default to his family and then close team. Only if no public reasons are given will I consider leaks.

I prefer less platitudinal options - e.g. if "I have X disease so want to pass the torch," that would be health reason, not "pass the torch." Only selecting Other if it really doesn't fit with any listed option.

Given some subjectivity, I won't bet. N/A if he never drops out.

as of the oval office speech, this would resolve this "He wants to pass the torch" fyi, but it has the end of the weekend for any more specific comments by Biden

We have a week to hear his reasoning (and, if still none, his proxies)
