This is what I'm saying. If Biden stepped down/aside, there's no point in considering any alternative other than Harris. And I say that as someone who is not her hugest fan!
Yup; she’s both the constitutional and the party backup. There’s no way you toss her overboard and don’t crack up the entire order (campaign, party, hell any sort of legitimacy)
If he'd announced he wasn't running again back in 2022 and we had time for a true competitive primary, I'd say go for it. But it's too late and we just don't have time.
