Obama’s word shouldn’t be taken as final. There’s no way he’d allow even the tiniest chance of publicly supporting Biden dropping out only for Biden to go on and somehow win. If Biden is to step aside, he’ll at least allow him the dignity of claiming it was his own decision. I expect there will be a discussion between all the key players and it could take a little planning to arrange that without revealing that they’re sitting down to discuss this very topic. Bonus points if they schedule it at 9 so night Joe can attend.
Or he could really be pulling a controlled flight into terrain, who knows.
We probably read the same thing. The right hand side being where the host sits on USian talk shows, right? Thus implying that he was the permanent, stable guy and the guest might be entertaining for a night but has to go home. Wonder if the author of that has followed up.
