Biden is weak — and unstoppable
MSN ^ | February 23, 2024 | Eric Levitz

The notion that Biden is less mentally fit for the presidency than Trump is extremely dubious. The president has been involved in public policy for more than half a century and Biden has almost certainly forgotten more about geopolitics and the federal bureaucracy than Trump has ever learned. Age notwithstanding, Biden remains far more cognitively qualified for the presidency than his 77-year-old rival...

The president’s mental competence is similarly well established. Last year, then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told allies that he “found the president sharp and substantive in their conversations,” as Politico put it. This comports with the assessment of Democratic insiders. And nothing in Biden’s public performance contradicts these reports of his private behavior...

If Biden has cause to believe he’s still a contender, he also has grounds for doubting that his exit would increase the Democrats’ odds of victory...

Just as importantly, only Harris could become the presumptive nominee ahead of the party’s convention and sail through relatively smoothly in a vote of the delegates. If Biden stepped down and endorsed Harris — imploring his delegates to vote for her — then Democrats could all begin aligning behind the party nominee before late August.

It would not be tenable for Biden to endorse anyone else. Risky as it would be for convention delegates to pass over Harris through a formal, deliberative process, it would be even more incendiary for the president to snub her unilaterally.

What’s more, as Biden’s running mate, Harris would be able to make immediate use of the president’s copious campaign funds, which currently total $130 million. As MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell has noted, no other replacement candidate would have legal access to that cash — at least, not until it passed through the Democratic National Committee’s coffers.

The notion that MSN is in some way engaged in “journalism” is extremely dubious.

Biden was spotted wearing a sturdy pair of sneakers; his aides are trying to keep him from falling down on camera. He exited Marine One Monday wearing sturdy all-black sneakers with a wide thick sole. The new kicks appear to be Hoka 'Transport' sneakers, which retail for $150.
