The replacement of Biden, if it happens, and it may, is simply an admission that they know the WH is lost, and they are playing to try to stop the down ballot destruction that is coming their way.
If the dems had a superstar of a the calibre that could step in at the last second and win this thing they would have never let Biden run to begin with...
They don’t have anyone of that calibre, so they have folks who will do better than Biden, but no one who can step in last second and win this thing...
So replacing Biden is basically admitting they have lost the WH and are just desperate beyond anything to try to at least motivate their base to try to prevent a full on down ballot massacre.
Doesn’t mean they won’t do it mind you, just I don’t see anyone on the bench with the talent or ability to both motivate their base and win the independent votes, particularly anyone who could step in at the last minute and pull it off...
If they had someone that good they would have ran them from the start, and never let Biden run... they don’t have anyone like that and they know it.
So, if they replace Biden, its effectively a tacit admission the White House is lost, and they are playing just to keep from getting massacred in the house and senate as well.
Good post. You may well be right.
There must be growing recognition amongst the Dems that Biden can’t win this thing. So they may just go into damage control mode and try to ride out the next four years and position themselves for a revival in 2028.
Even their lawfare has been unproductive, if not outright counter productive. That said, Trump’s upcoming sentencing still holds out a ray of hope for them. They desperately want him in jail and are banking on the presumed stigma it might place around Trump. Prolly not going to work, but its one of the last cards they have to play.
