I understand what an executive order. My understanding is irrelevant to this question. It’s what other people think Biden should have done. If someone wanted Biden to issue an executive order on bump stocks , what if Kamala Harris did it.
And if it makes you feel better, make it anything that a president can do unilaterally without going through Congress. (Well, until the Supreme Court finds a way to invalidate it.). If Kamala Harris does all those things you think Biden should have done unilaterally, what happens?
Sexist maybe, but Obama was elected twice, so race is no longer an absolute road block. Weirdo? definitely. Can she win? No way. But mostly because she’s just not it.
Discussing his future… Sure thing. They’re not actually doing that of course. Leak to make Biden look like A Serious Man and not a huge narsissist imo.
Former Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, who served alongside Biden in the Senate for decades, sought to set the tone in a pointed letter he dashed off to friends after the debate.
“All incumbent Democratic Senators should write to Biden asking him to release his delegates and step aside so the convention can choose a new candidate,” Harkin wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by CNN. “A couple of Governors may need to do the same.”
A second longtime adviser said the only way Biden would even consider stepping aside — a move that is still very much an open question — is if he was presented serious data showing that he would not only likely lose his reelection bid, but also endanger down-ballot candidates in House, Senate and competitive local races across the country.
