 President Biden's team has said little that adequately explains why his performance was historically bad beyond that he had a cold. What we mostly heard instead was the closing of ranks around a beleaguered and wounded candidate. The nation's confidence has been shaken, says the Boston Globe. A bevy of potential candidates, from VP Kamala Harris to the governors of Michigan, Pennsylvania and California, to name only a partial list, are waiting in the wings to take on Trump. All they need is for Biden to graciously bow out of the race and free his delegates to cast their votes for someone else at the Democratic National Convention. Meanwhile, James Carville is going even further.
