minus-squareOmega_Man@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·10 days ago Biden has a 37% approval rating, and the most common reason for voting for him is “he’s not trump”. I honestly hadn’t considered this point.

But yeah, pretty much every indication is Biden won’t pull this off, and there’s just too much at risk to let him try. Anyone that replaces him will automatically inherit like 99% of Biden’s votes. There’s no valid reason to keep him.
