Office Hours: Should Biden step aside and allow an open Democratic convention?

The problem isn’t just his age. It’s that he’s looking and acting frail, and most voters believe he’s too old.

Friends,

I’m hearing more and more Democratic leaders, political strategists, and progressive pundits around the country say that although Joe Biden may be sharp and capable, he doesn’t seem like he is, and voters don’t believe he is.

In other words, the question isn’t whether Biden is capable of being president. It’s whether he’s capable of running for president and projecting the fitness a president needs. Increasingly, I’m hearing that he’s not, and that Biden must step aside and leave the task of choosing the next president to an open convention.
