“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for my term,” Mr. Biden posted in a statement on social media.

I’m not holding my breath but if they want the best chance they should go with someone else. I think she’ll have a tough time beating trump
Who? They have to be:
- well known - they’re only getting a few months to build a campaign
- relatively centrist - a lot of people in the middle dislike Trump, so that’s who you need to court
- no major red flags - Trump will rip people apart, if the candidate has failings, they need to be conservative-friendly failings
- well-funded - perhaps the most important, and Kamala has the Biden-Harris money to use
She’s a terrible candidate, but I think she ticks the boxes above. I’m not voting for her or Trump, but I do think she’s the best option for the DNC, unless some billionaire decides to run.
