Joe Biden's two options

I think that today, July 4 2024,

Joe Biden has only two reasonable, responsible, options:

1. State that he will not seek reelection to a second term.

allowing the Democrats to choose who they do want to be their candidate in November 2024.

Whether he in addition resigns before his first term ends, turning power over to Kamela Harris, is a remaining open question.

2. Hold a full-blown, 90-minute press conference, without a teleprompter,

where he has to answer questions from reporters that were not previewed to him in advance.

I.e., show that he can still think on his feet, giving answers that are reasonable (according to his political perspective) to incoming questions.

Anything between those two alternatives leaves open too many significant questions.
