I am so glad Biden stepped down and Harris is actually running the campaign the Dems should have been running since 2016.

I think Biden was the best person to run in 2020.

His prior experience with the office + familiarity with world leaders is what allowed him to actually work from day one and also get NATO back together.

Remember that trump didn't hand the power peacefully, was blocking intelligence reports and our relationship with our allies was in the shitter.

Putin started to preparing to invade Ukraine in April 2021 (or at least that's when or intelligence noticed it), putin was certain that Biden won't be able to reunite West on time.

All other 2020 candidates would need some time ramp up as they did not have the same experience.

I am talking about Dems as a whole and the campaigns they should have run, not which candidates were running.

Biden was a good guy to have on cleanup duty. I think one of the main reasons why the Obama presidency was such a disappointment is that he had to handle cleanup duty at the same time as he was trying to push things forward.
