    It appears that after much debate, Joe Biden has decided to step aside in his current election campaign. A number of Democrats have requested he step aside since the Presidential debate, seemingly increasing in recent days. No word yet of who will replace him in the Democratic ticket.

  2. He needs to resign now, so that Harris can benefit for a few months of being an actual President.

    Unless they rather chose another candidate and find a loophole to keep the money.

    I guess it’s Harris’ decision, even though, theoretically, the party can still make whatever choice (and it was the case even when Biden was still running).

    I think this pretty much seals it for Trump. Incumbency is a very strong advantage and Trump is now basically a pseudo-incumbent due to being a former President. Whoever the Democrats run against Trump will most likely have no shot in the general election.

  4. Has this ever happened before?

    Also, i really dont think his successor whoever it might be, has much of a chance
