It would also potentially help Kamala if she were running as the sitting president.
I think there will be a stick to go along with the carrot you described. My guess is that the 25th Amendment is said stick. They may have told him that he can step down gracefully or be removed in disgrace.

It could. But I think it would be better if he stepped down gracefully. Its not his fault he is getting old, but he can make himself look better by stepping down and passing the torch.

That's my point. Seems like the obvious best move to me.
It is not his fault he is getting old. You're right. We should have more respect for the older population. The issue is that he's clearly not able to communicate and his admin as well as the media have tried to hide this from the population. For people that claim to love transparency and democracy its rather hypocritical.
That's on top of the fact he's (as well as Trump) a sociopath that craves power.

Right. If he could still perform his duties that the office entails, I wouldnt have a problem with him staying in office. But we didnt elect the people that are running the show now. Both of them are not great choices.

Well... I didn't vote for any of them. That's the farce of it all really. I mean its all an illusion. This democracy scam. Social contract blah blah blah.

Well, in theory no one but the electoral college votes for them. But I know what you mean. The democracy scam has gotten worse and worse as of late.

I think that’s the last thing they want
That would mean Kamala would be in the spotlight way more than they want her to be

Could be. That is exactly why I said "potentially".

It would likely help her unless she screws it up. I think it really depends on what the party wants. If they aren't really thinking they will win I could see them giving Biden the boot. Then they get to make history.
I don't see anything happening until after the convention.

If Biden’s in as bad of shape as he appears, they might not be able to make it that long.

I suspect we will know in the next few weeks. Very possible he's not doing well and this is why he has been out of the public eye. Been reported that he has Covid. Hopefully he will recover and step down, for his own sake.

Convention ends on August 21
It seems like Kamala is getting delegates and endorsements
