Honestly, given the amount of news that this is getting, I'm starting to think that a decision has already been made, and that the Dems are either:

• Waiting for it to blow over, and for Biden to stay and fight
• A transition candidate has been picked, and it'll be either Harris or another candidate to announce themselves with an immediate campaign.

The former seems like a terrible idea. Before the debate Biden was "fine" as a candidate, and debates don't really affect much in terms of voting intention - but dragging this out and staying on just looks bad with Trump having the (I can't believe I'm writing this) near-assassination high after his convicted felon low.

Depending on the candidate, the latter could be a fantastic move. I'm not convinced that Kamala Harris could beat Trump, but a double-ticket of someone like AOC with either Biden or Harris as VP could be a winner. Play things coy, have Biden come out right at the end, say he's staying on...as a VP to your new candidate, and start flooding the news and socials with the new candidate. Trump will lose his shit because the news is no longer on him.

OK so who takes the torch this late in the game though? Kamala? Has to be Kamala, right?

I think it’s hilarious that just a few days ago he said if he had a medical condition that forced him to step away he would.

I don’t know if COVID qualifies but I think it’s ironic. Maybe even a sign from God lol

Kamala Harris / Sherrod Brown would be a great ticket. Ohio would explode during the VP debate.

Since AOC / Bernie is out of the question for now, I think Newsom makes a good pick. If they nominate him, wonder who might be his running mate, he might bring in someone completely fresh so that’s fair

I'll vote for Biden over Trump or not voting any day. But I'd be more excited to vote for a Harris/Shapiro or a Whitmer/Shapiro ticket.
