CNN
: President Biden is more “receptive” to the push for him to leave the ticket; has gone from saying “Kamala can’t win” to asking if Kamala Harris can win

He’ll probably drop out tomorrow about 7pm to allow Fake News to cover that wall-to-wall instead of Trump’s acceptance speech.

Mr. President, Trump’s ratings went up after he was shot. We’ve gone through the list of what you can do to get the sympathy vote. We’ve already tried senility, Parkinson’s and pathological lying but none have worked. Bear attack is too dangerous and the Secret Service has mixed mugging in Lafayette Park after their last week. Are you willing to get COVID again?

Doubtful he has Covid - he’s surrendered. His slower than normal walk is the walk of defeat.
