⚔️ Biden Nominee?

In a New York Times opinion piece, Ezra Klein makes the case for convincing Biden to step aside and choosing a new nominee at the convention.

So yes, I think Biden, as painful as this is, should find his way to stepping down as a hero. That the party should help him find his way to that, to being the thing he said he would be in 2020, the bridge to the next generation of Democrats. And then I think Democrats should meet in August at the convention to do what political parties have done there before: organize victory.
