Asking Biden to Withdraw

[ndrosen]

Earlier today, through the White House website, I sent a polite and respectful email to President Biden, asking him to withdraw from the race. I wrote that whatever the actual state of his health and cognitive functioning, or what it might be by January of 2029, there are a substantial number of Americans who would vote for a generic Democrat, especially with Dishonest Donald as the alternative, but would not vote for him. I said that either Vice President Harris could run, or the convention could choose among Democratic senators and governors.

I don’t expect President Biden to read the letter himself, or to change his mind if he somehow does, but enough messages from prominent and ordinary citizens just might get his aides to broach the subject with him, and might perhaps change his mind about running for re-election. I thought I ought to try.

Who will replace him to beat Trump?

I was planning to write something else, but now I will say: we shall soon find out.

I’m not sure Harris is the best candidate to beat Trump.

I’m not sure, either, and I think that she is very far from the American most fit to be president; see my later Dreamwidth entry.

Well . . . something had to be the tipping point. I figure we can give you the credit.
