I'm nervous. Biden was a flawed candidate, but he already beat Trump once and had the incumbent advantage. Harris was a very unpopular candidate in 2020, and it's unknown if any other candidate will do better against Trump. But since Biden chose to do this, there's no doubt he made the right decision for him.
As far as I can tell based on articles I've read, he really wanted to run, but the party was getting divided over calls for him to step down. He must have figured that the infighting would take away his incumbent advantage
They were losing donors. Unfortunately, without money, forget it.
Yeah, they figured the risk of losing was too great. If whoever gets the nomination loses, Biden probably would have as well.
Hard disagree, the only other candidates is Harris and people don't like her. There's every chance Biden would have been elected when she won't be.
Possibly, but the fact that he was actually willing to step down means he doesn't have it in him to keep this up for 4 more years. Let's hope America repeats 2020 instead of 2016.
Technically, she is an incumbent too, right?
Yes, but not an incumbent president.
Trump was an incumbent. He lost. People want change.
