Biden"s age and polling numbers are a concern for a lot of people, even democrats. Do you think Biden will be the nominee come election day?

Gavin Newsome showed what a shiny candidate is last night. I imagine pressure will be applied soon and eventually Biden will no longer be the guy.

Even knowing he was spinning like a top, he was engaging, fun to listen to, and I imagine most people who aren't concerned with facts would happily vote for him, and at least he would be a good listen.
 
Why would anyone doubt he will?
From a pure statistical perspective, (lets put politics aside) there is a reasonable chance he would not survive through the end of the next term if he were to be elected.

Joe Biden is currently 81
Approx. 42.4% of babies born alive live to 81.
Approx. 26.5% of babies born alive live to 86
Biden has a 37.5% chance of dying before finishing a second presidential term.
His current life expectancy is 88 years old.

Trump is currently 77
53.7% of babies born alive live to be 77
39.4% of babies born alive live to be 82
Trump has a 26.7% chance of dying before finishing a second presidential term.
His current life expectancy is 86 years old.

The following is the chance of dying by age:
77 - 4.9%
78 - 5.4%
79 - 5.9%
80 - 6.5%
81 - 7.2%
82 - 7.9%
83 - 8.9%
84 - 9.8%
85 - 10.9%
86 - 12.1%

That may be true but Trump actually has mental illness. Are you going to put that into your equation? The choice will be between Trump and Biden.
 
If Biden continues to drop in the polls and continues to
demonstrate physical and mental weakness, then the
Democrats have a big problem. At their nominating
convention next year, the Democrat National Committee
will need to sort this out to avoid losing the Presidential
election in November. Biden could be replaced at that
time.

I hope so but I don't believe it will happen.

The last 7 years proves most people aren't concerned about facts.

Imagine if Biden is down in the polls and the DNC decide to replace Biden with Newsom. How would democrats respond? Would they automatically support Newsom?

You left out perhaps the most important factor of all. Trump is obese…….. this completely changes everything with odds of living longer.

Throw in Trump's BMI and recalculate.

I'd like to see Gavin replace Kamala for a Biden/Newsome ticket. I'd have much more confidence in Newsome if something happened with Joe's health after the election.
 
Biden is dropping in the polls and displays a decreased mental capacity. Either of these issues may be enough for him to lose the nomination.
I still voted probably because he seems to want to stay in the game.

That's actually a great idea, but the DNC would really have to pull it's pants down to do it...2 white men on the presidential ticket would require next level spin from the DNC and serrogates.

I don't get the love for Newsome. He seems like a slimeball who has turned California and San Fran into a mess. What do dems like about him?
