Say what you want about Biden, but as a politician he should've been experienced enough never to let it come this far. The same goes for the Democratic Party. Even if Biden was fit as a fiddle, his presidency would've ended after 8 years at the max. In other words, sooner or later they'd have needed a successor. Why wasn't a successor being groomed these past four years? I mean, surely you can't say Harris was being rolled out as Biden's crown princess. Neither Biden nor the party gave her a high-profile role. It's just weirdly incompetent.

And why did Biden not go onto the campaign trail in 2019 saying he'd do one term and then pass the torch over to a younger generation? It would've made campaigning much easier for him, too, deflecting much of Trump's criticism about his age. After all, four years ago he wasn't in as bad a shape as he is now. Just out of curiosity @ all Americans around here: Do you think it would've hurt Biden (or any presidential candidate for that matter) to stand for the presidency with the caveat not to seek re-election after four years?

Everyone's blaming Jill Biden for forcing Joe to continue, but it seems to me that the actual culprits sit in the party itself. The potential successors seem unprepared to throw their hat into the ring at this point, so they'd rather keep Biden in as long as it keeps their intra-party rivals out.

Responding as a USer:

Who has done the "I will only serve four years if elected as President" spiel? Well, I cannot think of one in recent history.

We've got Trump campaigning with that de facto reality, but it's because of the two term limit.

Jebbus Grandpa, you had one frigging job, just one....

Biden mistakenly calls Zelensky ‘Putin’ at Nato summit

Biden later corrected himself, saying his gaffe was because he's 'so focused on beating' the Russian president.

But he didn't crap his pants, so he had that going for him.

Zelensky deserves the Peace Nobel Prize for not strangling Biden there and then.

And then he calls Kamala Harris "Vice President Trump". You had two jobs for today Grandpa, two jobs....

Dude needs to step down for the good of his country, even at the cost of his career and what dignity he has left.

He sounds better than I expected, but he’s still full of crap.

I did expect him to “come out swinging”. And, he certainly has.

We import everything we eat today. Only livestock feed crops are grown today because 80 percent of American farming land is now condos and other assorted crap buildings.

I was watching a video recently of him going up the stairs to a plane and those tight fitting pants are pretty big around his arse, I would say he is definitely wearing depends.

While I'm certainly not an xpert on American Presidential politics I had evening meal after classes with my Ukrainian nuggets last night & President Biden's name came up. They seem to think he was selected to run 4 years ago because he was the candidate that would do as he was ordered & tow the party's elite party line. While Covid was bad it was overplayed so Biden wouldn't have to campaign & show how inept he was & all sorts of fake news about orange man bad. The American public was snookered.........think they can make it work again??????

Their big challenge now after Biden steps down (and I believe he will) is keeping Harris' big mouth shut at inappropriate moments. Like giggling at state funerals.

I think he has to run for President with Harris for VP. They ran in the whole country's Democratic Party's primaries. The American people all voted for him as their candidate. Unless he totally resigns his commission now for obvious health reasons I don't see how his party & Gov't can unless he resigns making Harris President allowing the Convention to vote in a new candidate & hopefully she'll nominate a new VP with a huge pair of balls to get some necessary jobs done to keep the world safer. Also his whispering during press conferences crepes me out.

It’s downright embarrassing. The delusional thing is he won’t step down as he’s convinced he can still do the job for four more months, though good luck with four more years.
