Is it worse though? Is nearly a full month of chaos and panic actually worth waiting until the end of the Republican Convention?
What about the chaos that would have ensued if Biden had just quit right away?
This kind of thing isn’t supposed to happen. It was always going to cause chaos and problems for the Democrats, not to mention the rest of the country.
I’m not a great strategist. I don’t know whether he should have waited or not. I do know you can’t judge the decision by merely pointing out one-sided negatives.
I’m judging the decision by the three-dozen Democratic lawmakers who have been forced to slowly come forward and publicly ask him to step down. This should never have been this drawn out or public as Biden made it. Once it was clear that the rallies and the George Stephanopoulos interview weren’t going to make this go away, he should have left the race. But instead, he tried to run out the clock until the Convention, wasting valuable time that could have been spent coordinating around Harris or executing the, “Blitz Primary,” they were planning at the beginning of the month.
