That would be true if the party was making this decision. Or some discrete subset of the party. But it's Joe that will get to decide whether he's the nominee, and whether he'll pick Harris as a successor if he chooses to step aside. I think there's virtually no chance that he'd both step aside and decline to use his influence over the delegates to pick who he wants to be the nominee. I think it's pretty unlikely he'll even agree that Harris would give the Democrats a better chance of winning, but I think it's even more unlikely he'd agree that an open convention gives them a better chance.

Well, I suppose that’s true. Of course Joe could throw his weight to someone who already ran against Trump, beat Trump in the popular vote, and who he knows well and might have a certain loyalty to. Her name, Hillary, I think.

Who could round up the Dems quicker than anyone? Who could raise money? Who knows where the bodies are buried? Of course she would have to say yes, and risk being another Adlai Stevenson, but no guts, no glory. Keep Harris as VP, or don’t, doesn’t matter.

PS: She’s younger than Donald. Ah well, pipe dream, I know.
