Katharine,

Staunch Trump supporters deny evidence, and Ike and Cathy are unlikely to wake up any time soon.

More critically, Democrats deny evidence that Biden will likely lose the 2024 election to Trump. Most are in denial, but there is growing impotence and fatalism.

Democrats can retain the White House should they put in a proper effort.

BOLD measures are warranted because tinkering is way insufficient.

We are stuck with Joe Biden, who is a lousy campaigner and communicator—always has been. But Biden's performance could be significantly improved if a talented spokesperson filled Biden's deficit.

KAMALA HARRIS must step aside as she does little for the campaign.

Pete Buttigieg is likely the best pick to replace her. He has enviable communication skills and will work well with Biden (Whitmer and Newsom are unlikely to give up their governorships to become Biden's running mate).

There is loud resistance to this bold move, but most is based on reasons other than winning the election.

Best to you.
