Dear Editor,
Joe Biden’s decision to stay in the presidential race at this point is incredibly selfish. He’s risking American democracy for the sake of his ego. I don’t know if Kamala Harris or whoever else would defeat Donald Trump, but I’m confident they have a better chance than an elderly man who can’t reliably form coherent sentences.
Those who argue switching candidates is too risky, ignore the fact Biden is currently losing to Trump. We need an energetic candidate to make the case against a would-be fascist. At this late date, I don’t even care who the replacement is. I just know Biden isn’t up to the job. He needs to do the right thing and step aside.
