If Biden does decide not to run again, one of the worst effects will be the New York Times' conclusion that it can decide the outcome of our political campaigns.
The paper's campaign to remove Biden -- using its "news" and commentary pages -- has been unrelenting.
That it is (IMO) based, in part, on the Times' anger at being refused an interview -- "How dare he refuse? We are the NY Times goddamit!!!" -- only heightens the arrogance quotient.
