5/5 If Biden decides to withdraw, he should just say something like, "Being president is a full-time job. Campaigning for the presidency is a full-time job. I'm too old to work two jobs, so I'm going to focus on the one I was elected to do. Vote Harris in November!"

Also: assuming Harris is (or might be) the replacement nominee, you really don't want her in the position of having Putin/Netanyahu/MBS/every-other-world-leader-who-likes-Trump try really hard to make her look bad for the next 4 months; lame-duck Biden would shield her from geopolitical ratfuckery.

Genuine question: Who is calling for him to resign from office!? Name names.

There is no replacing Biden at this point. It is too late for a new nominee to get on the ballot in some states.

A vote for Biden is a vote for Harris. If dems can get Biden reelected, Harris is in line for the presidency if something tragic happens. As for the House and Senate, if dems can flip the House and keep the Senate first order of business should be to expand SCOTUS.

I don’t think Biden saying that he’s not competent enough to campaign, but is totally able to be the President of the fucking United States will win the Ds any votes.

This will create wall-to-wall House committee hearings, GOP state AG lawsuits, and saturation coverage that will strangle the Democratic campaign. Not to mention the program of ballot ratfuckery that’d be sure to come.

He would void his opportunity to act unconstrained by political calculations around reelection, too, if he were to resign. By withdrawing from the race but remaining president, he would have the rare chance to use the powers of the presidency more or less strictly for the good of the country.

Biden should absolutely cite, at least in passing: that the House majority is corrupt, would not fill the veep vacancy, and that the incoming President would thus not be safe.
