    Who will replace him? Michelle Obama doesn’t want to run, Gavin Newsom has full support for Biden, and Kamala Harris is already VP.

      I’m sure plenty of people would step up if he actually stepped down. What you’re seeing now is people doing damage control to keep from undermining his campaign. It doesn’t mean that they’re actually telling us their true beliefs. Newsom says he fully supports Biden, and if he stepped down, Newsom would fully support whomever took his place.

      I think Harris is just as bad of a candidate as Biden or Clinton. Michelle Obama is an option but I don’t see why we have to treat this like a TV reboot where we keep rehashing the same names and faces that we saw previously. I’d personally love Bernie or AOC, but I know the party leadership hates leftist candidates and will actively work against them, so we’re probably screwed either way just like we were in 2016.
