https://lithub.com/rebecca-solnit-its-the-pundits-who-have-turned-on-biden-not-the-party/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

She says “It’s the pundits who have turned on Biden - not the Party.”

A lot of truth here.

It is an editorial choice to speculate on what Biden’s health will be like in four years rather than what the health of the country will be if he and Harris do not win.
