A big part of this decision is happening right now at Camp David with his family, according to the article:
President Joe Biden is expected to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with family at Camp David on Sunday, following a nationally televised debate Thursday that left many fellow Democrats worried about his ability to beat former President Donald trump in November, according to five people familiar with the matter.
Let’s face reality:
Biden is TEN POINTS nationally below where he was at this time in 2020.
Biden is losing in every single battleground state.
Biden is losing a large chunk of black and Hispanic voters compared to his 2020 run.
Biden’s aggregate approval ratings for Presidency are 37.7% with 56.7% disapproval.
… Biden asked for that debate because he was desperate to break the downward trend and reach these battleground swing-state voters. That backfired in the worst possible way.
The time is now, before the convention, and with enough time for an alternative candidate to be selected and ramp up campaigning. There are half a dozen candidates who fit the bill and have a semi-national profile, are YOUNGER, and have enough charisma and debate skills to beat Trump — almost by default by being a fresh face and younger
Anyone who says there isn’t enough time doesn’t understand just how much FREE viral media attention this would all receive. Every single person should be pushing for this to happen now. Because if Biden makes another gaffe like this in October or a medical emergency, then we are REALLY fucked.
