If Biden has to go, have him resign Presidency and let Kamala run as incumbent.

Interesting, because a couple days ago he was urging Democrats not to dump Biden.

And the power of incumbency isn’t just that someone got it two days ago. It’s that over the course of an administration the public has a chance to watch you in action, to put programs in place, to form political bonds, to develop a long list of donors and supporters.

Making Kamala “incumbent” at this point offers no such advantages, she’d still be “the new kid”, untested, (relatively) unknown. Yes, she’d be titular “head of the party”, and it would avoid the messy parts of a disorganized convention - and that’s something - but it’s hardly what that “13 queastion quiz” (or whatever it was) contemplates by being “incumbent.”
