Pretty clear! And he's articulated no vision for how to change this. Combine it with 1) years worth of consistent polling finding majorities of Dems don't want him to run again and 2) Harris's improving approval numbers and continued saliency of abortion, her strongest issue.
Here's my Sorkin pitch--the meeting with the family, WH staff, campaign staff, Hill leaders, and governors was to tease a drop out. But, they can't get ahead of an official announcement so everyone's putting on a show

"The Review is overly concerned with overtreating this population, but the data are clear that transgender youth in the UK are vastly underserved, just as they are throughout the world."
I don't think I've seen enough discussion of this possibility which, to be absolutely clear, would be historically catastrophic. For women, for trans people, for immigrants, for the working class, for the planet.
Inspiring! 💫 40-year-old trans woman tells of her gender euphoria at reliving the girlhood she never had by throwing up in grotty club toilet at 2am while her friend holds her hair after crying her eyes out because the guy she slept with was an asshole, realising a dream of 25 years 🏳️⚧️💪✨
