Per Axios, the DNC is working with the Biden campaign to effectively cement Biden as the nominee via this "virtual rollcall" coming up in a mere couple of weeks. I'm on board with you in that a Harris campaign feels like the most tenable way to defeat Trump. That said, the party establishment and Biden himself are digging in their heels at the prospect. We truly need more and more elected Dems providing the data to Biden on how he's faring in the swing states.

The strategic challenge with Biden not running is how does he justify being president until January 2025? It is no longer a hedge against a health event. We already saw it. I think that's why he's staying. No one is taking the presidency away from him — and he's lost elections before. Note: none of this is directed at the country. It's all about him.
