I’m with you that Joe Biden is not being replaced. The only person that can make that call is Joe Biden. Until he does, we’re sticking with him.

However, I do think that if you have concerns about our candidate and his ability to win, it should be open for discussion. Maybe you want to discuss some concerning polls or if you believe our issues aren’t landing in the places they need to land, I think that’s a fair discussion to have.
