If Biden drops out of the race, the candidate would be Harris. He’d resign, endorse Harris, and it’d get confirmed at the convention. The only “fresh new, younger face” would be the VP pick.
I’m not saying that’s a problem, but the idea that that an open floor battle at the convention would be a good idea is nuts, and just discarding the sitting VP like that would probably shatter the democratic coalition.
Because the prosecution used some tweets from when he was in office to highlight intent, or something like that. The supreme court ruling makes them arguably “official presidential activity” and thus can’t be used as evidence. So, any verdict stemming from the use of such evidence is invalid.
I’m in favor of Biden testing the scope of this newly invented supreme court ruling with a few targeted drone strikes, perhaps, but maybe I’m just a bit pissed.
