If there's some problem with Biden's health or ability, he'll step down after the election and let Harris take over and some younger person be the VP. No question he'll do that if necessary. All this freaking out ...

Don't appreciate demonizing former Republicans either, knee-jerk negativity doesn't help Democrats and is childish. Ally is ally.
