    I don’t see it that way at all. This seems like a great way to increase their votes. It’s not like they are going to lose voters who were going to vote Biden to begin with.

      Plus whatever strategy repubs were going to use to smear Biden is up in smoke.

        It’s never about those that were going to vote for Biden anyways. It’s always been about the undecided voters.

        Right. That’s obviously the whole point.

      Yeah the reality is that Biden was 95% going to lose to Trump. Picking a new person is usially a huge risk, but in this case there wasn’t much to lose.

      As things stand right now, Trumps chances of winning just went down a bit. Worst case, they pick someone terrible with similar (non-)chances to Biden. Best case, they pick someone who wins.
