Let's grant the obvious that no one seems to want to emphasize: Replacing the nominee at this point—let alone a successful president (perhaps the most successful first-term president since FDR)—would be the biggest gamble in the history of American politics.

when talking about first terms, how are we handling presidents who took office part way through a term due to a previous president's departure? First term of any length, or first *full* term?

Everything is a gamble. Nothing is certain. But overcoming uncertainty is where Dems are supposed to excel, and it's why democracy was invented. Biden isn't getting any younger, and there's 4 months for another shoe to drop. But it will. Too late. Now is always the best time to address uncertainty.

Could we also please note that Reagan, Clinton, Bush and Obama "lost" their first reelection debate?

I will vote for Biden, but Biden sucks. When I voted for him in 2020, I didn't expect him to run for a second term. He was selfish not to step aside before the primaries started. There is nothing to "grant": he CHOSE to bring us to "this point" that we are at. He ONLY has my vote because of Donald.

Hoping that Biden's mental decline reverses in the next 4 months is also quite a large gamble.

I agree with you, but I spell gamble in this instance thusly: "act of political suicide"

That’s why The New York Times is pushing for it. They want Trump to be elected.

And it would steal the news cycles right out from under the asshat's feet.
