No, it doesn't. There's no "selling" this. There's no more "fighting chance" for Biden. Biden was already losing to Trump in the national polls by a few points, and losing by more in the swing state polls. The entire theory of his candidacy is that he would be able to overcome voter doubts about his age over the course of the campaign. That's gone now. It won't show up as a sharp drop in the polls quickly - debates themselves just aren't that heavily watched. Instead, it will hit as a hard ceiling that prevents Biden from making up ground on Trump - and it will show up in the polls over time as Biden losing further ground as the attack ads scale up in the fall.
Aye, and that's the rub. I think the most chance is with Harris. Maybe Cory Booker as VP. We either win, or go down in flames well is what I'm thinking now.
