[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since there is a growing consensus that Biden must be removed from the nomination - both for the good of the nation and the party's prospects in November - I believe they may 25th Amendment him if the Biden family continues to resist. It would solve a lot of problems. Biden would be gone. 75 percent of the country thinks he is unfit to be president so it wouldn't be anything controversial. The vast majority of Americans will agree to it and see it as the responsible thing to do.

And it puts Kamala Harris into the presidency and resolves the question of who the nominee should be, thereby avoiding a democratic civil war if it becomes a free for all at the convention. And this scenario works within established constitutional frameworks. And it conveys legitimacy.

Disagree. Biden is extremely touchy about his dignity and his legacy. It's what he cares most about. the 25th is the worst humiliation in the world for a sitting President. Using the 25th would traumatize everyone in the party because he and his aides would fight it tooth and nail, and Harris would be put in the most awkward spot. She's supposed to defend him, she's part of the administration, PP! She can't survive that, it will destroy her candidacy.

Which is why Trump's camp is clamoring for it, naturally: two birds with one stone :-)

We need to do this behind closed doors, with strategic leaks to bring just the right amount of pressure, and specific people with the most credibility and influence in the eyes of the Biden aides and relatives, saying what needs to be said.

The goal is to have main logistical, operational and financial hurdles figured out before making a joint Biden/Harris announcement. And then Harris will publicly announce her VP pick (but really it will have been a group selection).

I was hoping for those annoucements to be made next week.
