Probably the right decision, I think, if very late. Will be interesting to see how the Democrats will go about this now. Kamala Harris seems like an obvious replacement, but is she really popular enough? Might be because I’m European, but she was never on the news for anything here and I know next to nothing about her.

One thing that is important for non-Americans to understand is that the next steps are totally up to the delegates at the Democratic National Convention, most of whom were chosen as a result of the Primaries and 99% were won by Biden’s campaign. I think that Democrats may stage some quick events, like a debate or other public forum, to show off their bench and introduce voters to their main candidates in a way that they couldn’t earlier in the year. But the ordinary voters’ role in the process is over until the General Election in November. The candidate will be chosen by delegates who were prepared to vote for Joe Biden.

If Biden endorses Harris at any point, she is the is the nominee. Things only get interesting if he declines to endorse her.
