Don't Let a Biden Succession Crisis Create a Succession Crisis - emptywheel

The calls for Biden to resign the Presidency at which, by most measures, he continues to have historic success, only to leave Kamala Harris without a Vice President are as silly as calls for 71-year old Sherrod Brown to replace Biden on the presidential ticket.

@emptywheel I think what we need for hope for now is when, not it, Biden's second Presidency becomes too much, he can hand over to Kamala Harris then. Maybe a statement to that effect would quell the kerfuffle.

@davidpnice @emptywheel No, because a lot of the people complaining about Biden’s fitness don’t want Kamala to be President. Not all of them, but a lot of them.

Also the whole thing is a version of “Obama should show his birth certificate.” It’s not something to validate anyway.

@MisuseCase @emptywheel They don't matter. The important thing is Democrat support. Ignore the birth certificate bastards.

@MisuseCase @emptywheel You're never very clear, then.
