Considering the potential image disaster and other repercussions of changing a candidate in this way, and the impression it would give of internal democracy, do you think any other candidate has a chance of winning the White House in the elections?

Biden wasn’t democratically chosen anyway.

But regardless, just about any candidate would probably have a better chance than Biden. It still wouldn’t be a good chance, but it would be better.

Yes, that's a good point, it cannot be denied.

Of course, I'm asking if you can think of anyone who had a real chance of winning.

Why not Kamala? What are you, some sort of sexist to suggest that she cannot run in Biden's place / s

Seriously, tho, if I were some Professional Managerial Class ghoul, I would replace Biden for good optics with literally anyone else from 2016-2020 Democratic Primaries...

Adam Schiff would be my pick. He's relatively young, high-profile for name recognition, and very generic/inoffensive. In an election against a polarizing candidate like Trump that might do it.

I believe that Adam Schiff, who has all the personality of a wet blanket, would be a soft target for the GOP machine.
