Joe has already intimated that Harris may take over his presidency. The question is when does this happen. 

We know he won't run for a second term and the dems will want to create continuity in order to establish a strong campaign. Harris running on Biden's record just won't cut it. So who decides when it's time for him to step aside? Will it be by choice or death by a thousand cuts as more and more 'leaks' from his administration about his failing acuity undermine his credibility? How much will Dr. Jill factor into this equation? 

It's not difficult to anticipate Harris, at the urging of her comrades in the growing left wing of the party, becoming impatient to grab the reins of power. Nancy and AOC having knife fights in The House well will be ugly. But the question remains, how long will Joe serve before he, or them, decide it's time for a presidential turnover?
