The mendacious editorial board knows full well this won’t happen and a replacement would lose. It’s so ridiculous that they argue for a sure victory for Trump through these bizarre blinders. They wanted, say, Haley versus Newsom or something.
ashish@glennf a question from someone who has never been to the US, and is a huge advocate of social democracy: why is it a bad thing for Biden to pass the reigns to a younger candidate?
i recognise NYT’s pettiness towards Biden for the silliest of reasons, and their relentless attempts to cause him harm until he acquiesces, but what does B provide for the country that Harris, or someone else won’t?
@ashish Too late in the cycle. Incumbents generally win. Trump and Bush Sr are the huge exceptions since Carter, whom Reagan colluded against over hostage release. If Biden withdrew, guaranteed democratic loss.
