Dr. Fauci says he will step down in 2024 no matter who is elected to the White House

Dr. Anthony Fauci said he would step down from his position as the nation's leading infectious disease expert in 2024 no matter who is elected to the White House.

Fauci had previously said that he would step down if former President Donald Trump won a second term in 2024, but his newest comments mean he'll step down even if a Democrat wins.

He made the comments while being interviewed by Neil Cavuto on Fox News Wednesday.

"You've dealt with COVID under this administration and the prior administration," said Cavuto. "Would you continue serving that role if the prior president, Donald Trump, returns to the White House?"

“Well, I’m not going to get involved in any politics about who is or is not going in the White House,” responded Fauci.

“By the way, by the time that happens, I think I won’t be around, no matter who the president is,” he added.
