As the chorus of democrats who clamor for Biden to not seek re-election grows there are a few thoughts that occur to me.
- Biden likes being president and will resist until his closest allies and family tell him to quit.
a. The family wants him to stay president.
b. Jill craves the attention
c. Biden is the sole gravy train for Hunter and the rest of the family
d. When Biden does leave, the money stops flowing to the family.
e. Unlike the Obamas and the Clintons, Biden will not earn millions when he leaves office. No $100,000 speeches. No $5 million memoirs. No foundation.
2. What if Biden does announce he is not running for re-election?
a. If he announces before the convention, he could resign the presidency to make Harris president. That would lead to her being the democrat nominee.
b. If he didn’t resign, there would be a fight for the nomination at the convention and chaos if the party rejects Harris.
3. What if he resigns after the convention?
a. Harris would become president
b. But would she automatically be the democrat nominee?
c. Would there have to be a nominating convention called to make her – or anyone else – the nominee?
d. What about a Harris-Michelle Obama ticket?
