People are worried about Joe Biden’s chances. The WSJ suggests that he and Trump withdraw their candidacies, which would be historic, to say the least. Chances are next to nil that Trump would ever consider this, and Biden’s family is telling him to keep up the good fight and move forward with the campaign. So, an interesting suggestion, but nothing will come of it.
I only see one possible outcome, and that would be Biden deciding that enough is enough and withdrawing. There would be much behind-the-scenes wrangling and hand-wringing, but Trump would once again emerge unscathed, with an open path, because the good guys blink first.
All of this could have been avoided nine years ago, if Trump had just decided to stay in his penthouse and leave well enough alone.
