Why is Harris stepping in bad? You find a successor to Biden w/o the disruptive primary people were asking for, which would have bypassed BOTH POTUS and VP. You get second best messager on abortion. You get Biden's $$.

You lose the age question. Distance the Legend of Genocide Joe. And gain a wild card pick for VP -- as attack dog, media surrogate, or strategic bid for a key state or constituency.

basically I just don’t think that switching tickets at this point is good, regardless, and I’m not thrilled with her as a candidate as I’ve said elsewhere I think I’d probably pick “Biden steps down and Harris runs” as the least bad option right now, better than him staying in
