For me, the question of whether Biden should stay in the race is purely instrumental: can he win? This rally is fine but can he appear in public and in private over and over, frequently, and demonstrate cogency and energy? Can he speak extemporaneously with vigor? I don’t know who can answer these questions. So, we are left with a need to see him, often and publicly, and not only in scripted, controlled settings. This has to happen now and quickly. It has been left to awfully late in the day. 1/
@BootedUp @heidilifeldman Hard disagree. Three elected members of his party have called for him to step down. Even if he could have beaten Trump before this (which was questionable), he almost certainly can't now. The momentum has turned. Either he steps down or he loses. And the sooner he steps down, the better chances we have of getting the next person over the finish line. At this point, it's just a question of how much time Biden takes up with a stubborn refusal to leave.
