Why do people think switching out Joe at this point would solve anything?

19. Also, who would volunteer to replace him? They wouldn't win and they would torpedo their chances

of ever being a viable presidential candidate again.

Joe is our candidate for 2024. We have to get behind him and stop this talk of switching candidates. Whether it was a good idea for him to run or not, he's running, and we can't go back a year and undo that decision. Changing course now will not improve our chances, so we need to shore up support behind Biden.

Also, any candidate who replaced Biden NOW on the ticket, 4 months from the election, would likely lose. Who is going to volunteer to do that and give up their one shot at running for president?

We have so many young, strong democratic leaders who will no doubt be running in a crowded field in 2028, Harris, Buttigieg Newsom and Whitmer surely among them. If any of them were to take this Hail Mary pass and lose (which they surely would), they would not realistically have another shot at being at the top of the ticket. That has to be something all the strongest candidates anyone is talking about replacing Biden are thinking about. They all have presidential aspirations, I'm sure.
