And no, it's not too late to jettison Biden off the ticket. The dems still have time to LBJ him right out of the race.
Yes, it is too late to jettison Biden off the ticket. You might recall that LBJ's decision to not seek re-election caused utter chaos in the party, leading to the disastrous 1968 DNC convention and the Democrats losing the election anyway. You might also recall that his decision was not precipitated by party elders, but the fact that he drew two serious primary challengers and was probably going to lose the primary.
You can't beat someone with no one. Unless and until a serious challenger actually enters the primaries against Biden, he will be the nominee unless he decides he doesn't want the nomination. Which is almost certainly not going to happen.
