You can now add Maureen Dowd of NYTimes to those seeking Biden to step aside. Feb 11, 2024.

How will this market resolve if he dies before the elections?

@TamasSzelei This question ends on June 30, 2024 so it is not related to election.

@Bruce54df Sorry, you are right. But the same question is valid for june 30.

@TamasSzelei If Biden dies before June 30 without having withdrawn from the election, then the question would be N/A.

The title of this question should be "Will Joe Biden end his Presidential campaign?"

Which leading Democrats?

@NcyRocks David Axelrod and Dean Phillips for two. (Many others whisper this). Plus in a recent poll 57% of Democrat voters do not want Biden to run for reelection.

@Bruce54df Well Dean Phillips is running against him so that’s not terribly surprising.

@Bruce54df so "several" means two and "leading" means irrelevant?

@BrunoParga Add Gavin Newsome. You’re cynical

@Bruce54df no, I'm realistic; you're maybe a MAGA.

@BrunoParga No way am I MAGA

Define step aside. Not run for reelection? Step down as president?

@mattyb Decline to run for a second term. (Recall LBJ)

Too late, the media begins asking whether Joe is throwing the country under a bus." -Holman Jenkins, WSJ, 1/30/24
