Letter: Why I back Biden

This is in response to those who feel President Biden should retire. At this late date, nothing short of a miracle would enable a younger Democratic candidate to raise the funds, make the needed pitch, and get voters to unit behind him/her between now and November. If Dean Phillips and RFK, Jr. couldn't do it, what makes anyone think it will happen within the next four months? Like it or not, Biden represents our best -- if not only -- chance of beating Donald Trump. If by some miracle Republican leadership were to succeed in getting rid of Trump and turning over their nomination to someone who at least understands what democracy is, nothing would make this Democrat happier. That's the one event that might finally convince Biden to take a well-deserved retirement. However, I'm not holding my breath. Unless or until Trump disappears for good, I stand by Biden.
