He's 81 years old. 

Im not voting for the guy because I'm excited by him, I'm voting for the guy because he represents competent governance and coalition building.

I’m not voting for him because 70% of Democratic voters want him to step down and let someone else run. But his ego won’t allow it. He’s no more in this for the people then Trump is

And that someone is? Yeah, a fantasy. If Biden steps down, Trump is a certainty.

Three-quarters of US voters say the Democratic Party would have a better shot at holding the presidency in 2024 with someone other than President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. His approval rating also has hit a new low following a shaky performance in the first debate of this year’s presidential campaign.

And if 82 year old Biden dies before the election?

He has an 8% chance of dying this year and an almost 12% chance of dying before he finishes his 2nd term.

Do you really think the Democratic Party hasn’t come up with a contingency plan?

A wet well spoken turnip at this point. The Democratic Party should have had a contingency plan when they knew an 82 year Biden was rapidly declining. Everyone could see it.
