Until the debate on June 27, the choice between presidential candidates seemed clear. Now that the veil has been lifted, Democrats are scrambling for options. Should Joe Biden step down from the nomination? If so, who should run in his stead?

Merle’s long time friend Patty Carstens proposed this strategy:

1. Biden serves his country by voluntarily deferring to Kamila Harris.

2. Harris appoints California Governor Gavin Newsom as her VP choice.

We haven’t seen this discussion taking place on other outlets, so let’s get it started! What do you think?

      Jim, I’d take just about anything that has a chance of beating Trump.
