BBC is reporting that are huddling to decide whether to ask to step aside as presumptive nominee.

The thing is, that's not really up to Biden. The party sets its own rules, and it can nominate whomever it wants. They don't need Biden's permission.

The thing I find funniest, though, is that it's like politely asking to leave the presidency after he lost the election.

No, that's not how this works. We don't ask; we tell. The Democratic Party will tell Biden if he's the nominee, just as the EC process told Trump that he's no longer going to be president.

It does come across as people hoping they don't have to make tough decisions or take action, though. Or be held accountable for the result.

Much easier just to let the individual choose for himself.
