If Biden had hit the ground running with a whirlwind tour to dispute his disastrous debate performance, and if he had outlined concrete measures for combatting the disastrous SCOTUS immunity ruling, we could have been swayed. He did none of that. Maybe itā€™s time to bring in the relief pitcher.

My only worry is I think he misstates the 25th Amendment for Harris selecting a new VP. It's both chambers not just the Senate. Which would Johnson and Co. allow her to pick a new VP? Otherwise totally on board with everythign else

There is an incongruity between the headline and sub, which say that he *must* resign, and the article, which says that he must resign if he truly has declined so thoroughly that he can't campaign anymore.

I don't get it, how many more public appearances does Biden need to make, how many more speeches and rallies, before 20 minutes of a debate are wiped out in the media narrative? Shouldn't his solid appearances since then count for anything?

Iā€™m sure itā€™s a very stirring and morally correct take. It also means the senate is 50/50 with no veep to break ties and Kamala is oneā€¦accident away from We Are Totally Fucked so actually this take is horrendous

I don't know. I still think Biden may have too much pride to step aside, especially at this point.

I love Adam despite him submitting an awful take. It's clear if Fox, CNN, WSJ, and the NYT all push the same agenda, it impacts how media responds. Tiktok and twitter are showing more concerns about "Black jobs" and Project 2025 but writers took the bait I'm ignoring politics until after the 4th

I think that's overstepping a bit. Drop out of his re-election bid? Sure, that makes sense. I see no need for him to resign, though, as he's handling the job fine for now.

I donā€™t see any world in which Biden drops out and SCOTUS/the House donā€™t pull some sort of faux-legal fuckery to say Harris isnā€™t eligible to run on the ballot in key battleground states, handing the EC to Trump.
