    Sure I definitely think that is their strategy, plus there have been a lot of reputable reports saying that they likely extracted a lot of support/concessions from the party by sticking behind Biden over the last few months. My point isn’t what the reasoning is necessarily, but more that they are all electing not to run for various reasons.

      Imo it’s not a “fair” shot for whoever takes the spot. You have less time and overall it won’t look good as compared to have been there from the get go.

      That’s what’s so frustrating about this, Joe staying in the race might be the best way forward… because he has doubled down all this time.

      I’m not American so all I can do is give moral support.

        I agreed with you until a few weeks ago. The momentum is clearly in Harris‘s direction now. Appreciate the moral support - we seriously need it
