    Statistically, an incumbent has a huge advantage right out of the gate. Not to mention Biden could splinter the vote which is the worst scenario for a party that holds the seat. I don’t like it either, but Bidens low drama, non-world-ending and still-not-trump platform is the dems safest bet.

      It’d be easier if he picked a less boring running mate; maybe he could lure in somebody who’d otherwise be inclined to wait for 2028 - Whitmer, say - with a secret promise to resign halfway through his term. (which I hope he plans to do anyway, though he obviously can’t publicize that fact)

      I agree! To clarify, what I meant was that I was disappointed that Dems, including Biden, aren’t backing someone younger. Whatever happened to uplifting the next generation?
