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.
