    You’re right, but I think it was a combo.

    October 7th spilled a bunch of gasoline on the ground. (Almost immediately after that day his polling trailed Trump’s.)

    His debate performance dropped a lit cigarette.

    In my opinion, you really needed both of those things for him to drop out. A physically struggling Biden that’s polling at 60% would’ve stayed in the race. A Biden with an excellent debate performance that was polling at 45% would’ve stayed in the race.
