No because there was no reason we knew of at the time for him to step down.
You stated there was no primary. I pointed out there was and then asked what the difference between Biden stepping down after the primaries had been run was any different thwn if he had died.
If you have any precedent to point to that shows they had to or even were legally permitted to run a new primary I would be interested in seeing it as Im unaware of any.
"there was no reason we knew of at the time for him to step down."
That's factually incorrect, Biden ran on the promise of being a one term president there was every expectation that he would step down.
You're just trying to justify bringing up random shit at this point, I'm kinda done with talking in circles with you.
I have literally been sticking to the same point the whole time and it is you who keeps trying to bring up new points.
The fact us Biden stepped down. Multiple states had run primaries and selected Biden/Harris. There is no legal way to invalidate those elections that I am aware of.
I never accused you of switching topic other than when you randomly brought up Bidens hypothetical death.
There was plenty of reason for his handlers to know. They hid that from the American people.
