Step down in favor of whom? Why can none of you armchair pundits come up with both (1) a name, and (2) a persuasive case for why that individual can build up the name recognition to win in barely four months. IMO VP Harris is qualified to be president, but racism and sexism are at least as powerful in the electorate as ageism, and if you have any imagination at all you can probably guess what the GOP and Dark Money attack ads will look like.
People who wanted Bernie held their noses and voted for Biden. It’s time we started doing that for younger, less experienced candidates and women like Harris; she has been doing her homework and setting the stage for a candidacy.
Oh yes, there's a pair! Wow! When my half-sister in Washington State muttered about her, I sent her a video extract of a gimlet-like Harris in action in the Senate, and she agreed with me.
Gavin Newsom, Gov. of Calif., for one. He's charismatic and smart with executive experience. This election should be a walk-in-the-park for Democrats, but it isn't because of Biden's age and apparent fragility.
Just no! There is a superb television pundit--last name Sullivan, I think--who made a superb case for why switching horses at this point in the race would be really stupid, among other things because they'd have to start from zero on fundraising.
If you would read Simon Rosenberg, you'll find out that Biden has lost zero ground in polling, he's doing fine, and in response to the debate fiasco, many of us are giving money. I'm not wealthy, and until about a month ago I had never given a C-note to political candidates. Back then I gave Biden a C-note, or maybe it was Airlift.fund, which you should give to because it's terrific getting money to grass roots people who know the territory. And just today I gave Biden another C-note.
Start reading Simon Rosenberg and you'll feel a lot better. He's on substack.
I do get Simon's emails, David. Because the stakes in this election are so astronomically high, we are rightly concerned. Biden has done an outstanding job. The next task, of course, is to get re-elected. I, too, have given more money this campaign cycle than ever before. I think that I only made one donation to Biden's campaign since I've been concentrating on the Senate races. If ever there was a time for us to be opening our wallets to make political donations, it's now. Literally, now or never. And, Simon does make some good points. In fact, excellent points.
Whatever his name recognition among such, he'd be far, far behind Biden on fund raising. As Lawrence O'Donnell so eloquently explained, it's too late to switch horses.

Harris with AOC as VP. Both Moderate and Progressive Democrats should be able to coalesce around them.
Well, AOC does turn 35 in October, but that might lead to the worst blowout since McGovern in '72, and we really can't afford that.

This should have been and should be the lead story on every news platform.

Any idea about his name recognition among non-political junkies outside of California?

I keep forgetting about the money, but the Biden-Harris war chest is HUGE.
