Totally agree. Biden post-debate is a very big, fast-moving story, most of whose protagonists are trying to hide what they’re thinking and doing behind the scenes, and covering stories like that is what the NYT is for.

Also a lot of claims that the NYT is creating the narrative that Biden is too old out of whole cloth

I’m still mad about the emails coverage (and the trans coverage) too, but this is not that, take it easy folks.

The Vice-President can kill the President, because the instant the murder takes place, she becomes President, and therefore immune.

I do t think you could get Biden to give up his car keys, much less resign the presidency.

True, but, and again, I’m drawing on my own quite common experience of caring for an elderly parent, old people who start to slip can often decline very fast. If you could promise me Biden will not get worse, great.

Totally agree! But speaking as someone who’s attended Harris fundraisers for governor and for president, if Biden does step down, the impulse to at least kick the tires on Whitmer is not crazy, I don’t think. That said, plenty of people who took a couple elections to get good on the national stage

To be fair, the last time she was in a national election, everyone thought she would be a formidable candidate but she did terribly, and was widely considered a surprisingly poor campaigner. So there is a data point.

This may be because you are listening to a pretty thin slice of electorate. Anyone who’s cared for an elderly parent has to be pretty terrified of how he’d govern.
