(17,546 posts)in every state evaluated the pros and cons of Biden and decided he was better than a younger but far less well-known challenger.
If there were Dems who were as concerned about Biden a year or more ago, that was the time to run up a challenge. I hope you had a chance to see Lawrence O'Donnell talk about the calls for Biden to step down especially in the context of 1968 when LBJ decided late not to run for re-election. O'Donnell pointed out that Humphrey lost by about 1% to Nixon partly because Humphrey didn't have enough time to raise enough to campaign effectively. Kamala Harris is the only one who would be able to use all the money the Biden-Harris campaign has raised. Honestly, when Biden is re-elected, he can step down if he feels he can no longer do the job and Harris would become president.
