Moreover, according to a senior Democratic official, the party leadership would have much more control over choosing a replacement if Biden were to drop out after receiving the nomination than if he did so beforehand. Once a candidate is officially nominated, there is a process for the Democratic National Committee members to choose a successor. Biden is the dominant force at the DNC, and his preference for a successor would surely carry sway.
If Biden were to exit before that, his delegates might do what he asked of them — but they wouldn’t be bound in the same way they are now. In that scenario, the delegates could nominate anyone, and there could be a political brawl at the convention.
I think the felon should drop out, personally.
Maybe they both could and the US might have a return to a respectable election options?
Please, when were the last respectable election options?

He could have rolled with that old lady, but he set her straigjt

I liked Carter, down to earth and he built homes for humanity until he literally physically couldn’t anymore.
He only served once. He could run again.
He’s in hospice and lost his wife not too long ago.
He’s just waiting to see her again now
So basically Biden with a less shitty stance on Palestine. I’ll take it!
I mean I don’t disagree, but the man has decided that it’s time to go, and out of all of the presidents, he definitely deserves rest
Roosevelt?
We don’t need respectable election options. We get on perfectly fine. We send billions and billions in supplies and aid to the other side of the planet either way. Much more than any other country with their ‘respectable elections’ does anyway. Our old dementia riddled leader does more for the complete other side of the planet than anyone did. On the brink of ww3 and here we are according to some with our less than respectable leaders doing the most to prevent it.
I agree but he won’t
