At some rapidly approaching point it will be less important whether Biden carries on or steps down than it will be to simply stop the speculation. Pick one. "Final answer: I'm running / I am stepping down." The worst outcome is neither Biden nor Harris; the worst outcome is debating it for 100 days.
Yeah, I'm not a professional Politics Knower or anything, but it feels to me like this needs to be wrapped up in the next week, preferably before lunch today.
If Biden decides to stay, he needs to be out there. Town halls. Debates. Interviews. It's pretty obvious now why he skipped the Superbowl interview.
If his campaign is worried he's in no condition to do all of that, then the choice should be obvious.
We're (as a media environment) are literally debating it instead of the courts having declared Trump literally above the law as a God King TWO DAYS AGO
Sorry, Franklin, we couldn't keep it.
“Biden old”’ will be replaced by “Kamala the sidepiece” and everyone is going to act all indignant when it happens and gives her the same ceiling as Biden
im growing more convinced hourly that no matter what the Biden campaign says, its going to be a constant campaign deathwatch from now until election day and they absolutely cannot win under those circumstances
Biden gave his final answer a year ago and has only repeated it since. There is no indication whatsoever that he is considering quitting. Only the media and online "pundits" are keeping the focus here instead of moving on to more important things.
Accepting this as true, it seems like the only way to achieve that is for him to step down. I don’t think there’s an unequivocal “I’m running” that will dampen the speculation, and there’s certainly not one that will stop it from reviving as soon as the next time he’s visibly sundowning
