The former president has always considered himself to be the ultimate disrupter. But this time, the disruption is on the other side.

Through the weekend, there were an awful lot of questions that were going back and forth from people in the president’s tightest circle, and one of the questions that kept being asked was whether Joe Biden was going to endorse Kamala Harris or not. And the question didn’t revolve around whether he wanted to or not, but whether people in her camp thought it would be better for her to fight for it, win it on her own, and not be seen as somebody who was tapped by President Biden and so, in her own way, have a fresh start going into the campaign.

So the timing seems to be about as good as it could have been to end what has just been one of the craziest two or three weeks in American politics in quite some time.

    And if he ducks out hopefully she’ll call him a coward. Repeatedly.

      She should start calling him a coward before they start negotiation. He can’t stand women talking crap about him. A woman of color, he’d have a canary.

      I hope that Harris (or whoever) goes WAY more on the offensive than Biden did. Honestly I think that’s where his age showed the most sharply; he was just too nice, even when he was “Dark Brandon.”

        That wouldn’t be difficult.
