Unlike many others On Here, I don't think there's a way for Biden to bow out without it leading to extreme risks of a very different kind. We need more of an acknowledgment from the replace-Biden camp that this is not a remotely easy dilemma.

Very well put about what the Bidens owe everyone now. The risks of a messy convention/nomination outweigh those of Biden staying on, which to ALL of my never-Trump Republican neighbors in Indiana will be a de facto Harris presidency anyway. There are risks, but the current ticket is a certain loss.

The only winning way out is to announce he'll only drop out if Trump does.

The "presidential debates" are shitshow. The media are to blame as they keep coming up with this crap year in and year out for the sole purpose of making money. The candidates are to blame because they accept it. The audience is to blame because by watching, it starts the cycle all over again.

Why would Biden bow out? He's a very successful incumbent president.

Acknowledged. Now the “this can never happen” crowd needs to accept that replacing him is less perilous than keeping him.
