66. We're all genuinely fearful of that but it's way too late to be having this discussion.

My senator, Bennet, has also called for Biden to step down claiming we're going to lose in a "landslide" & down ballot, too. WTF, Senator?

I've written & asked him three questions. 1. Do you want Biden to resign now & turn the presidency over to Harris & Harris will be our candidate? 2. Do you want Biden to continue as prez but drop out of the race & then Harris would become our candidate? 3. If not Biden or Harris, then who? Even among the hand-wringers there's not a consensus who can win if not Biden. Also, I'm really disappointed they didn't choose to proclaim Joe's accomplishments, like list the infrastructure projects in their states, & also point out the numerous lies of Trump.

If they're worried about a second Trump term, this isn't helping.
