I think Biden and his team need to start asking themselves what four months of every single public appearance being treated as a competency test is going to feel like, and how that ends. Because I don't see it stopping--there's no magic moment on the horizon that simply puts the whole thing to rest.

"If the media would just stop--" The media will not stop. Nor will his opponents, nor will the doubts of the 72% of voters who express them in polls, nor will the aging process. Some of it is unfair, some is not, but it's all real. And anyone who supported him in 2020 knew this crisis might come.

Hillary had a cold and the media treated it like she was on death’s door. The same thing awaits Harris if Joe drops out. Maybe it’s the media that needs to be asking themselves what the problem is.

As if any amount of vigorous action will magically delete all the derogatory TikToks amusing the un- and under-informed voters we need to win. Gaza wounded the President; the debates killed him; social media vids are shoveling dirt on his casket. Plus, Dems need a rebirth. Out with the old!

*sigh* You know what - that's an argument, but I wish there was a little less naivete among the Dump Biden crowd that the magic unicorn they're pining for doesn't exist. It sucks Dems never get a break, but self-harming acting out (IMO & YMMV) won't help.

A successful prime time news conference would dispel this, and his people know it, and we know they know it.

Oh I think they already know what it feels like and that it sucks. Some people would use that as a reason to quit. It sure looks like the president is going to use it to run a campaign against the Haters. "They tried to make us quit!" Absolutely could work. (It better!)

Biden just demolished Stephanopoulos in the ABC news interview. So there's that...

I agree. And this: “I’m not letting one 90-minute debate wipe out three and a half years of work,” is dumb. No one can take away his first term. He’ll go down in history as a successful president in a very difficult pol. environ. That doesn’t mean he gets to skip go and collect a 2nd term.

It’s not going to stop for any Dem. Period. The idea that some other candidate will be given a fair shot by the media is nuts. The Dems’ total failure to deal with the debate aftermath ensured a four month shitshow.
