[If Biden resigns because of dementia a case could probably be made that he lacks the capacity to provide pardons. While he may do it they would likely want the new president to reapprove them so there is no question of their legality

They may be negotiating that the VP resigns as well opening up the entire ticket to a New Democrat team. That would make Mike Johnson President.]

You’re assuming anyone can make him quit the race, let alone quit the presidency. And to quit while claiming dementia is about as likely as him doing so while claiming to be a serial killer. That’s would be like you deciding on a whim to deed your property to some random stranger. There’s no reason you’d want to do it, and no one can make you.

“You’re assuming anyone can make him quit the race, let alone quit the presidency.”

You probably are correct.

That is why the Deep State may have to move past the “half measures” to “full measures”.

He will quit for a reason other than dementia. The point is with the Hur tapes and now the debate I could see a legal argument being made that a self pardon from a President who clearly has dementia, means the President lacks the capacity to give such a pardon . I don't think the Supreme Court will allow an overturn of a pardon but you still would have to pay a lot of legal bills to get to the Supreme Court. If the next President (likely Kamala) agrees to redo the pardons then it would be impossible to bring a legal case against Biden.

If Biden stays in the race and loses, the money he will get for a Presidential library will be a fraction of what he would get if he completed 2 terms. Same for a book deal. FLOTUS calculus has to be grab as much money now and have Joe resign. 2 billion library fund is a lot of salaries for Biden family members and she can live very comfortably on a 100 million book deal.
