MADISON, Wis. — Dean Leeper was never thrilled about voting this year for President Biden. The incumbent is too old, in Leeper’s eyes, and even before his disastrous debate, some relatives who usually back Democrats were eyeing other candidates.
Now, Leeper is hoping that he and millions of Americans who want a new mainstream option will suddenly get their wish. He would be fine with Vice President Harris. Really, any other Democrat would work. “I’m not asking for much,” the 32-year-old said.
“Just, like, knows how to address a camera,” Leeper continued, sounding demoralized, at a park where families celebrated the July Fourth holiday with live music and a bounce house. “Can shake hands.”
As Biden prepared to visit Madison on Friday, Democrats in this blue stronghold were more apprehensive than ever about an election they are desperate to win. Many said they were worried that Biden wasn’t up to the task of defeating former president Donald Trump; others feared that replacing Biden would do more harm than good. They had grimaced through the debate last week, in which Biden delivered a halting performance and appeared repeatedly to lose his train of thought. They were concerned that a second Trump term would go further than the first, and anxious about a party caught between risky options.
“I trust Biden to make the right decision,” said Sandy Boes, 73. “I don’t know what it is, but I really believe that if he — if the people around him think he can’t do it — that he will put the good of the country first. … I’m afraid, after the debate, that a lot of people just will decide not to vote, and if people don’t vote, then I think we get Trump, and I’m terrified.”

“Biden should have done more to set up whoever the next person is going to be,” said Chris Schickel, 61.
His partner, 43-year-old Shanna Wolf, said a new ticket would be “exciting” and called Harris “super smart.” But others worried that Harris has her own vulnerabilities in a general election.
“I’m worried about sexism. I’m worried about racism. I feel like Biden weirdly is a more viable candidate because he’s a White man, even if he’s super old,” said Ben Kasten, 39, who said he feels like he also doesn’t have a strong sense of what Harris stands for despite following political news closely.
Kasten said he considers Biden a “fantastic candidate” when it comes to his “policies and principles.” But watching the debate last week, he felt so sick he turned it off. He estimates he made it about 10 minutes as a raspy-voiced Biden struggled through.
A history teacher in the Madison area, Kasten says the stakes of the election are enormous. He and his wife have even discussed wanting to leave the country if Trump is reelected.
Just like you know whatever man...............
“called Harris “super smart.” ....words fail
This is why there should be an intelligence test for voting. This idiot should not have the right to vote if this is his standard for a president.
Lefties gotta left.
POWERFUL
“He and his wife have even discussed wanting to leave the country if Trump is reelected.”
Please do. How did they survive the first term?
“Just, like, knows how to address a camera,”
“Can shake hands”
So you want an actor....
Don’t you want Joe to continue his long line success and policy objectives?
Terrified?
I’m terrified that the leader of the free world doesn’t have his marbles... He isn’t running it... So who is? Jill Biden? Hunter Biden? His aids?
What could be more terrifying than having nobody in charge of the largest nuclear arsenal on earth?
“Just, like, knows how to address a camera,” Leeper continued”
Wait until he sees Kamala in action—he won’t know whether to start laughing or crying:

“ I’m worried about sexism. I’m worried about racism. ”
But problem not worried about jihadists coming accross the border .
Probably not worried about the “yes Biden signed an Executive Order the day he was inaugurated stopping a pipeline” energy price driven inflation.
Dear Leeper,
“Your not asking for much,” that is part of the problem with the democrat party.
MAGA is asking for Greatness.
Respectfully,
Fellow American Citizen
Harris is “Smart” seriously, she is retarded..she cant use the I have dementia excuse, she’s an idiot a crackling idiot
Another propaganda article from the WP.
These are not the words of a mature mind.
They sound like middle-schoolers in a civics class.
They ‘worry’ about things of no consequence and ignore the real problems of the nation and not the individual citizen............
We would urge every ‘terrified DemoRat’ to assuage their fears and vote for RFK, JR. In November.
Never fear! These people would vote for a pile of dog excrement if it had a ‘D’ behind its name. I have these kinds of people in my family.
