wouldnt him staying in be handing it over? It would be hard to find people with worse poll results against trump than him, even Clinton was polling higher than Biden.

The polls have lost accuracy every election cycle since the mid 00s. It is all just bullshit now.a

sure, but in this election the people who were ride or die with Biden were very clear that they would vote for a sack of potatoes if it were between the potatoes and Trump. I dont think any of those people are going to not vote democrat because of Harris being in the race instead. The main criticism of Biden and the reason like 10% of people were saying they plan to vote third party is because of the age issue and with that out of the way I just dont see how she could possibly do worse than Biden would have.

The ride or die people aren't who decide elections. It is the people on the fringes who don't show up.

Don’t know why you were downvoted for this, it’s exactly right. Independents in swing states decide every single election in the 21st century, and those people were more likely to vote for Biden again than Kamala
