    For clarity, if we’re switching to Biden: he isn’t the nominee yet, which has been an issue. There is a whole primary process and a convention that makes the nomination. People are trying to participate in that process for representation.

    He is the presumptive nominee as the incumbent, but the public is increasingly aware he is likely a losing nominee and therefore by default: a threat. The presumption is then of concern.

    Now there’s further issue here on whether his policies, versus his personal capabilities, are a liability for the party as a whole. I think they are an overall liability, but I think a larger pool of people just want a different candidate even if it means the status quo policywise.
