Sigh.

Via Sahil Kapur:

🚨 Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, calls on Biden to WITHDRAW from the 2024 election. "Too much is at stake to risk a Trump victory," he says. "President Biden saved our democracy by delivering us from Trump in 2020. He must not deliver us to Trump in 2024."

@lakelady @GottaLaff Also complicated by the mechanics of presidential elections (voting for EC electors pledged to a candidate, not candidates themselves). Presumably Biden-pledged electors could vote for the actual party nominee, if not Biden.

@GottaLaff @lakelady

The only plausible answer I’ve heard to this question is Dan Drezner’s suggestion that Biden resign the presidency now, making Harris president. Done with the support of Democratic governors and congressional leaders, and Biden’s full cooperation, it could end up being energizing. Radical, sure. (Read the piece for yourself; I don’t want to be its defender here.)

Expected first:

The judge may issue his Sandoval rulings, determining what prior bad acts prosecutors can confront Trump with if he testifies.

A key question: "What's fair game?"

@msbellows @GottaLaff but Trump was prepared to stiff Daniels if payment could be deferred until after the election, no? Hard to square that.

@msbellows @GottaLaff “Cohen's hope was to delay payment to Daniels until after the election and then not pay at all. But Daniels and her lawyer realized they were being strung along, Colangelo said.”
