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.

"The goal here is 👉not just to prevent Trump from winning the election. The goal is to prevent Trump from attaining the Presidency again, via whatever means he plans to pursue.👈 And for that reason, it is highly unwise to add points of potential failure he can exploit where, thus far, there are none...
Aside from his Israeli policy, Biden is, most Democratic voters..will concede, a remarkably successful President. Via whatever means, he has managed to do that job well"
