The Spin

Democratic narrative

It's fair to say that Biden had no other choice but to quit the presidential race and even that his decision took longer than it should have. However, that doesn't change the greatness of his act. Unlike many rulers who cling tighter to power when threatened, Biden has ceded the stage for a younger fellow Democrat to renew optimism ahead of the election.

Republican narrative

If Joe Biden isn't fit to even run for president, how can he fulfill his duties in the White House for the remainder of his term? It's only logical he should resign and retire once and for all — and yet he declines to do so because this would only expose the fact that Kamala Harris isn't fit to be president of the US either.

Metaculus Prediction
