Seems to me..... based upon the David Ignatius column... that the table is being slowly set for Biden to step away.
So....
1) The Biden WH would always totally dispute the notion at this point.... you don't piss away what remaining capital you have by making yourself a lame duck
2) how would it work? If you're the DNC, you'd love the idea of just elevating someone that's your preferred pick without an ugly primary... aka the old school way.
My guess is you'd wait until next spring when it becomes very clear what's going on within the GOP Primary....
Obviously these would be very uncharted waters in modern times. Any guesses how this would play out?
