Maybe some Democrat insiders are writing off 2024.
It would be messy to get rid of Biden and somehow get rid of Kamala too, to install someone else, who might well go down to defeat anyway.
Maybe some of those power brokers are happy to let Biden and Harris go down to defeat, get rid of Kamala for the future that way, and regroup for 2028.
I’m thinking you’re right. But the problem of down-ballot losses remains. They have to do something about that, and I don’t know what that would be. Any ideas?
