Or to put it another way: every day that Team Biden isn't actually ending the "Biden old" conversation, they are running Harris as the principal at the top-of-the-ticket anyway, but only taking the costs and not taking advantage of the opportunities that come with that

Anecdotal, but it seems so much of the BidenHarris2024 correspondence features Kamala the past few days.

It seems to me there are way more people who would show up to vote for Harris but not Biden than Biden but not Harris. It's getting harder for me to see the downside in elevating her.

There’s also no way Trump campaign doesn’t start running hard on; “Biden is going to resign and put in Harris”. At the absolute least you have to start campaigning her as strong, competent and capable.

I’ve already priced her into my vote. And I also think they’ve hidden her light under a bushel these past years. But the other guy hasn’t even picked his running mate, he doesn’t really want one. He’s just as likely to kick it than Biden and we get stuck with Uday or Qusay.

Yeah, This is a classic "doesn't she look tired" hit. The damage is done and effectively irreparable. Anything Biden team does now can just be written off as cover-up, or falsehoods to conceal the truth. Or a good day. Ignoring of course that a literal boiled potato is a better choice than Trump.

Opportunities like picking a very electable VP, although I worry she'll bungle it and pick someone who doesn't help (like Newsom). But she could try for Whitmer or Beshear, for example.

The more the conversation is about “Should Biden dropout” the less opportunity there is to talk about the real and present threat. That is what needs to be factored into the decision making matrix by the people that have control of whether he drops out.

Also every day: Biden gets a day older. (Your analysis is spot-on)

On the other hand if the media is just set on pushing the Biden Old narrative, there may be no amount of town halls or speeches that could rectify it

Harris is the Vice President of THIS term, not necessarily the de facto replacement for the NEXT term. IMHO, if Dems are going to be audacious, they shouldn't temper that because of pretend rules or hurt feelings.

I’m sure there have been more than a few analysts involved with the campaign who’ve gamed out that scenario ad nauseum.

“Pressure mounts on Biden” from the relentless coverage in the NYT in particular. Nowhere in these articles are they mentioning the fact that Trump is 78. But Biden is too old.

I don’t see how they are supposed to “end” it when it’s all the media has been obsessed with for months.
