Sunday Update on Biden’s Dilemma
Biden is still isolating at his beach house in Delaware recovering from his latest case of Covid. While that goes on discussions are still swirling about his ultimate decision about his candidacy at pretty much all levels from party leaders, talking heads, WH staff, and the rest of us. His numbers are terrible and getting worse as this controversy drags on. Here are few interesting items this morning:
The Washington Post has an interesting infographic about how a new nominee would be elected by convention delegates describing different scenarios should Biden step aside.
Federal staff is already dusting off their resumes preparing for a Biden loss. This is not unusual in election years or during times of serious uncertainty but is pretty urgent right now.
Here is a graphic of the changes in battleground states from 2020 to 2024. The outlook is nothing more than dismal for Biden:
Finally, the NYTimes has an article about the what if question of Kamala Harris as the nominee should Biden pull the plug on his campaign.
I believe this will be decision week for Biden. TFG/Hillbilly are already ramping up attacks against Kamala anticipating she’ll be the nominee. His laughable “unity” reset lasted something like 28 minutes during his speech at the RNC; he’s already in full TFG bullshit mode while Hillbilly is calling for DOJ investigations of writers and researchers who dare criticize the Dictator Wannabe. It’s a snapshot of what the world would become should the unthinkable happen. I’ll post a link about this when CBS posts the video about it from Face the Nation this morning.
