The 80-year-old president has repeatedly embarrassed the U.S. by stumbling upstairs and across stages while also mumbling his words, making Americans question if he even knows he is the president.
Biden's health is such a major concern that even Left-leaning outlets question whether he is up for the job or not.
Politico columnist Jack Schafer demanded a stronger primary challenger for Biden— one that would toughen the president up and would "prepare us" in case he's "seriously injured" or "dies one evening."
Titled "Why Democrats Should Primary Biden," Schafer argued that the senior president is not up for a second term, suggesting California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) or Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as alternative presidential candidates.
"Besides putting him in fighting trim (or not), primary adversaries would prepare us for the all too real possibility that he's incapacitated by a stroke, seriously injured in one of his frequent falls or another bike crash, or just dies one evening. It's not impolite or unkind to plan for the sudden departure of any employee," Schafer wrote.
The columnist also cast doubts that Vice President Kamala Harris would be able to take the reigns should something happen to Biden.
"If Kamala Harris had convinced the country that she could step into Biden's shoes should he suddenly step out of them, the argument for a primary challenge wouldn't be so urgent," Schafer added.

weekend at Joey’s....
If he kicks the bucket we get Harris.
(Screwed either way.)
The answer to the headline would be to ask another question: what would change? Entertainment value might drop, but the Administration is not short on idiots who say stupid things, so they could pick up the slack.
Biden will be around forever.
Different sock puppet, same hand. She’d be comic fodder....especially when they tried portraying her as anything else. Think GWB had a gravitas problem?
Then his cognitive ability would decline 5%.
“What If Biden ‘Just Dies One Evening?’”
Happened to FDR. At least he had Truman to take over.
I don’t see team Obama going anywhere for a long time. The communists are ruling the USA now and they will not be giving up power.
Hmmmm. I thought it might go up.

Funny that RFK Jr is not on that list. I suppose he’s not Deep State enough.
The elites are selfish and totally uninterested in what the enslaved governed citizens want or think.
They can have the media rehabilitate Kamala. Online and newsstand magazines and TV panels will have the theme:
It’s Time To Take A New Look At Kamala Harris.
A Serious, Brainy Leader Right For Today’s Diverse America.
Harris Modest About Being A Deep Thinker Who Is Well Read Say Those Who Know Her Best.
Biden’s infirmities are going to be a primary focus, which is why the Dems are scrambling for a replacement.
The correct answer.
Hopefully the military takes over and kicks out the Neocons...but I know I’m dreaming.
Sympathy vote 2024
Buttegeig is getting worse, not better. Newsom is a pretty boy marxist. Their choices are not too appealing.
