And be replaced by….?
Anyone with a pulse. But my preference is Sanders, Whitmer, or Pritzker.
I love Sanders, but we can't ask Biden to step down because of his age and replace him with someone slightly older.
Sanders is stuttering and falling asleep but yes the optics aren't great.
Yeah, don't get me wrong, Sanders seems to be much sharper at this point, but it would be a bad look and the centrists would throw a fit.
I dunno but that website OP linked is a well known right wing propaganda “polling aggregator” that only takes pro-trump polls. I wish they had just linked the washington post article or an archive link thereof instead.
I linked to the first article that wasn't paywalled.
I don't link to WAPO because of its paywall.
The call to remove the presumptive candidate is an entirely different thing than saying "and put our chosen person in instead". If he said a specific person you'd criticize him for trying to decide for the whole party.
The replacement should be chosen after consideration by a much broader group, either behind closed doors by party leadership if it's Harris, or by the delegates if it's not (or they simply don't think directly installing her is the best move).
The timing is so cringe. They all knew how old he was a year ago. Now, after one sad event, the sky is falling? Come on now. Quit grandstanding, my guys.
