Ex-VP Kamala Harris says leaving his 2024 reelection decision to Joe Biden was "recklessness," but she defends his ability to do the job: book excerpt.
Biden shouldn’t have just done the Johnson “I will not seek, nor will I accept…” He should have stepped down as President in 2022 and let Harris run the incumbent bump through 2024.
I don’t believe that would have made a difference, but it was the best shot at a '24 win.
I agree with the pledge, I disagree Biden should have stepped down.
A full Democrat primary with a wide range of fresh faces and pitching their ideas for the future. The last election was the same old Biden versus the same old Trump. Sure we did get a last minute change and I think Kamala did an OK job but she should have had a much harder pivot.
Then you have the same problem, nobody was going to tell the sitting VP she had no business being the candidate and you have the DNC putting their thumb on the scale same as they did for Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020.

In 2028 it could be quite different depending on the results of the midterm elections.
