    Why are you so certain that people would instantly vote for a new candidate more than the incumbent president? I have only seen polls saying the exact opposite.

    Regardless, time is ticking out. If a new candidate is gonna have time to build any sort of support or momentum, they need to get started yesterday and hit the ground running, the election is just getting closer.

      An incumbent with what? A 34% approval rating?

      Biden isn’t a normal incumbent he’s literally a historically unpopular incumbent…

      And for months now polls have been showing a smaller gap between almost anyone else and trump.

      Like, do you not understand this is Biden with the campaign and DNC behind him versus people who can’t even say they’re thinking about running yet?

      You don’t think that would give them even a 5% boost?
