    A second House Republican and a senior House GOP aide echoed those concerns to Fox News, with the aide saying explicitly that Biden’s continued candidacy is Trump’s best bet for reelection.

    “Virtually any Democrat that potentially replaces Biden has an exponentially better chance of defeating Trump,” the senior House GOP aide told Fox News. “Biden staying at the top of the ticket is the best-case scenario for a Republican trifecta.”

      I’ve been saying it since last election.

      If either Biden or trump stepped down, it would guarantee their party wins.

      It’s insane we’re heading into an election where regardless of who wins, roughly two thirds of the country would be unhappy with the results.

          Replacing Biden would actually re-energize the voters and base too. I’d prefer AOC most because I think she’d get the most attention and attract the most voters. I think they should do it now though rather than wait and have the delegates start casting votes to pick someone in the next week or two so that we can put all the support behind a new candidate that can actually do unscripted press conferences and talk policy & that is likeable.
