Who is the best replacement and how do we choose?
EDIT: It was a collective "We," people. As in, all of us who aren't fascists. I'm well aware of how the democratic party chooses candidates.
Harris is the obvious choice, though I would be thrilled if it went to someone else. The DNC, unfortunately, will have to discuss amongst the delegates who will get the final nod. What's important is that we have unity going forward - which is one of the reasons why it's so important for Biden to step down and get onboard with this.
He could full out resign, putting Harris in office and be able to appoint a new VP that inspires more confidence than Harris. Could satisfy party brass who want to control the appointment for getting Biden out.
Or he could drop out of the race and endorse Harris at an open convention which would be more democratic.
Hold a national primary over the next month.
people want to replace biden because they don't think he can win the election, not because they want harris as president
why would biden saying "no totally trust me guys i'll step down for harris after i've won" make him any more likely to win, especially after he already told the world he'd be a one-term president?
I think they were suggesting that he resign before the election, and Harris chooses a new VP
