This is dumb, petty and counterproductive.
But a lot of conservatives were complaining that Harris had to know that Biden wasn't capable of the job and she should have activated the 25th amendment. But she didn't do that and when he did step aside to let her be the candidate these same people that were all about her kicking him out of office were now saying that this was a bloodless coup even though she was only running for pres instead of actually being president. Basically they were irked because she didn't do what they wanted and would have been upset if she did what they wanted. Damned if she did and damned if she didn't.
So if he steps down and she becomes president they get to be unhappy about it and claim the high ground both ways.
Really wish we had adults running things instead of transparently partisan idiots who don't hold any consistent core belief system.
To be fair, this way she could run the campaign while he runs the country.
These people aren't looking for fare. They are looking for excuses to always paint every choice as failure.
