It's been interesting to see the consensus on this site harden in realtime around the idea that not only is sticking with Biden the obvious correct choice for Dems no matter what other facts might emerge, but that anyone who suggests otherwise is either dishonest, an idiot or a handmaiden of fascism
I think it depends on your timeline. I lean slightly Biden stay because I think there are a lot of replacement hurdles that have little to do with the candidate (Biden or anyone else.) But so far there’s only one guy confidently yelling at me that no one wants that because Gaza
(And I oppose Biden’s position on Gaza but think it’s better than Trump’s, which is basically, what’s wrong with genocide? All the best people did a genocide!)
The exigencies of the whole situation (congress, public opinion largely, AIPAC, etc) I think lean towards none of the likely replacements doing much better. Maybe Whitmer. None of the rest though. The shiny new candidates lose their sheen pretty fast.
And Whitmer has made it clear she's not going to toss MI aside and toss Biden under the bus. Other governors might though. That said she's a strong future candidate, assuming we have a future that allows it.
