co-sign but i will add: i don't know the best path but i do know the worst path, and that's replacing him with anyone other than kamala, via any process whatsoever.
I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.
I know the best path: Make Kamala the first woman President of the United States. Now. Joe can do that with the best speech of his career and then ride into the sunset. Make a big show of it. Pomp and circumstance. Then Kamala picks Whitmer as VP and they run as incumbents.
Yes, Whitmer should be the one, but that wouldn't be practical if Biden resigns. If he only withdraws, two govs are best. Go for it. Dems can't afford to lose a senator. Anyway, senators aren't executives, don't answer enough to their constituency, run from blame, and don't sing enough praises.
