    Biden has a 37% approval rating, and the most common reason for voting for him is “he’s not trump”.

    I honestly hadn’t considered this point.

      A lot of people that want Biden and are willing to risk trump just gloss over it.

      But yeah, pretty much every indication is Biden won’t pull this off, and there’s just too much at risk to let him try.

      Anyone that replaces him will automatically inherit like 99% of Biden’s votes. There’s no valid reason to keep him.

        That makes sense. Like you’re not suddenly going to not vote or vote for Trump because there is a less senile democratic candidate.
