Kate Bedingfield: There’s No Magic Wand that Dems Can Wave, Put Somebody on the Ticket, and Sail to the W.H.
EXCERPT:
BEDINGFIELD: "You‘re not seeing any — none of this polling is showing the race moving out of Joe Biden‘s grasp. And also crucially, as we‘re talking about this kind of idea of pulling him off the ticket and subbing someone else in, Vice President Harris or anyone else, you know, their polling doesn‘t look dramatically different right now either. There isn‘t a magical solution, there‘s not a magic wand that Democrats can wave, put somebody on the ticket who's going to sail to the White House. There‘s going to be — that person is going to face the full brunt of Donald Trump‘s negativity. They‘re going to face — they‘re gonna be the brunt of paid advertising. I mean, there isn‘t an easy answer here. So I think, as Democrats are weighing this, they need to think about the fact that this isn‘t an easy swap. And I think in Joe Biden, you have somebody who, again, I believe is more than capable of making the case. I think he needs to get out there and do it. I think he should be out there seeing voters three times a week. I think he should be making a really aggressive case. I think he can do it, but I think we need to see it."
