Some Republicans worry a Biden replacement could make the race 'dramatically different' for Trump
Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday told CBS News that, if Biden steps aside, the presidential election becomes a "dramatically different" race for Trump.
Is there a good replacement? To me it sounds like there is a push for Biden to step down without a good alternative.
The more and more this continues the more I'm thinking that it is the rich owners of media companies trying to destroy Biden chances, because of his stance of taxing the rich. It feels like that whole noise is being done by media in bad faith, also they are very silent about trump in Epstein files.
Or just about everything Trump had to say in the debate in general. Absolutely the words of a madman with every answer.
I too am thinking this, Biden has picked an amazingly effective team that is making big changes for the positive for the average person, and has made some key strategic victories despite the courts and Congress being so against him.
He's old, he needs his nap time more often than a spry 35 year old, his speech difficulties suck - but the actions his administration makes are not ignorable to the rich, and so I think the rich attempt to make them ignorable to the masses with their control of capital
You don’t have to convince me, you have to convince Joe voter in Penn’s woods who voted W then Obama and then Trump and then Biden. Joe from Pennsylvania measures his vote by his gut and not so much the issues. He picks a president, not a team.
And right now all Joe’s hearing is how Biden is more senile than anyone ever thought.

Whitmer. Buttigieg. Newsom. Harris. Ignore this and repeat the question like no one has answered it.
Someone on Imgur posted a slew of headlines from the Clinton candidacy in 2016. Many of them are eerily similar to the ones that have been dominating msm lately.
Turns out they were right. Wish people would have listened back then.
What's wrong with Kamala? Seems like Progressives have largely gotten over her record as AG. That's why they hid her in the first place.
Have they gotten over it? I didn’t know anyone had. Nor have I heard of any initiative she successfully handled
The media misses the hourly 'tRump opened his mouth, and here's what came out' coverage they were providing. It was the most return for the least effort. Find a few talking heads to argue what it means for [rolls dice] 'seniors' to fill a few hours of air.
It's like they had that meeting in The Boys and the argument was successful
If Biden wanted to tax the rich why didn't he try it when Dems controlled both chambers of Congress? I'm sure it's more likely to happen under Biden than Trump but from where I sit it doesn't seem likely to happen at all.
Because that Democratic "control" was razor thin and included people like Manchin/Sinema. We need an actual majority to pass anything without their cooperation. Even if Biden wanted 50s era tax levels on the top tax brackets (90%+), he simply doesn't have the votes in Congress. Last time they had anything resembling a workable majority was during the Obama administration, when they passed the ACA over several months. Even then they had to water it down because of Joe Lieberman. One more vote would've resulted in a public option. Luckily tax policy can be done in reconciliation so a simple majority works in the Senate. Or we can elect a few more Senators willing to nuke the fillibuster, it's pretty close now.
Point is, it's not just on Biden (or any POTUS). Congress (and internal Democratic party politics) are fucked. Yeah he could be doing more to get party members in line with his agenda, but they're pretty insulated at this point. We need to capture more seats in the general while ideally primarying every moderate member of the Democratic party we can. We have to be able to cancel our the 2-3 fuckers waiting to block shit, on top of the entire other party of y'all qaeda who blocks any attempt at progress.
Disclaimer: POTUS is now king supposedly so most of what I said could be accomplished with some strategic deportations of congressmembers and judges under official act by the border patrol or some shit.
Manchin and Sinema
Man they really know what they're doing with this aren't they? Keep sowing those seeds of fear. Making Democrats try to panic.
Yep... they're making Democrats panic. It wasn't Biden losing a debate to Trump where he was already trailing in the polls, or that he struggled to complete a sentence without sounding like he had severe mental decline. It is the media who made Biden do that. Maybe CNN drugged him before the debate. Now that you mentioned it... I'm starting to wonder if the media is making Biden support genocide. It has to be the media though, no way it could be that Biden isn't the best person for the job.
Yeah, no kidding. Donnie is clearly mentally unfit; it's just hard to get anyone to talk about that when you have Biden in the mix and they'd rather talk about Biden.
Not too sure about that...
It seems Gavin and Harris are polling much worse than Biden...
If the DNC and superdelegates are going to replace Biden, it is expected to happen at the convention.
Yes, I think this isn't specifically the Democrats that are pushing it, it is rich people who own the media, because Biden threatens to tax them more.
This outrage awfully reminds me of Hilary's emails.
A second House Republican and a senior House GOP aide echoed those concerns to Fox News, with the aide saying explicitly that Biden's continued candidacy is Trump's best bet for reelection.
"Virtually any Democrat that potentially replaces Biden has an exponentially better chance of defeating Trump," the senior House GOP aide told Fox News. "Biden staying at the top of the ticket is the best-case scenario for a Republican trifecta."
I've been saying it since last election.
If either Biden or trump stepped down, it would guarantee their party wins.
It's insane we're heading into an election where regardless of who wins, roughly two thirds of the country would be unhappy with the results.
Generic Democrat polls higher than basically any Democrat you give a name to. People like the idea of a Democrat but have issues with the individual likely candidates. See also the amount of delegates 'uncommitted' got over the candidates actually running in the primary in states that held one with that option.
We need to support Joe Biden and ranked voting
