For the life of me I can’t understand why the Dems didn’t begin preparing for a successor after the 2020 elections. Everyone was aware of his age. Perhaps they should have considered what happens after the term is over. So often with Americans, they rely on wishful thinking. Perhaps the Dems were afraid to look ahead due to their reputation for disunity. Look what that fear brought them. A multitude of competing factions fighting for the top spot. There are 15 weeks to find a candidate that offers the electorate stability and confidence that they will be better off if the Dem candidate is sitting in the big chair, in comparison to the fantasy being sold by the GOP. The greatest obstacle is the fantasy is so enticing.

Curious to see if Harris going to catch any political-flack for the perception that the entire admin has been lying about Biden’s competency?
I mean 3 weeks ago it was a conspiracy and ludicrous to claim Biden wasn’t able to handle it and now he is out.

It appears that after much debate, Joe Biden has decided to step aside in his current election campaign. A number of Democrats have requested he step aside since the Presidential debate, seemingly increasing in recent days. No word yet of who will replace him in the Democratic ticket.
