It's a reasonable question. Evidently he has good periods and bad periods. He can probably handle the normal business of government, but what if there's an unexpected crisis when he's having a bad period? What if he has to make a critical phone call to Putin or Xi Jinping and he loses his train of thought, as occurred in the debate?
I guess letting him serve out his term was the price of getting him to withdraw his candidacy, but it has disadvantages. If he resigned, KH would have the chance to show she can do the job. It would also avoid her having to spend the next 3 1/2 months defending his ability to do the job. He'll still be in the public eye, and there's obviously a risk of more senior moments.

Apologies- I am away from home and not using a computer hence my own lack of competence.

It could also show that she can't do the job.

Still stuck at the anger stage?

Why do you try to make everything personal? My comment was true.
Also, Biden didn't step aside because he thinks he can no longer handle the job. He stepped aside because he was forced to, which is obvious to everyone.

So was mine. Everything you've written on this topic has been either denial that Biden's decline is a problem or anger that other people were raising concerns about it.
It was also an odd comment given that Biden has endorsed her for the job and you had no problem previously with her being next in line.

Bullshit. I expressed my opinions on Biden. You make bitchy remarks about me, not the topic.
If Biden resigns before the end of his term, Harris can't devote her full time to campaigning (and she doesn't officially have the nomination yet). It would be foolish for him to put her in that position now, and whatever she did as president would give the Republicans more ammo against her.

Just to spice things up in this historic (IMHO) election...

Now, Democratic Party elites and billionaire donors are attempting to manipulate Black voters by anointing Kamala Harris and an unknown vice president as the new Democratic ticket without a primary vote by the public.

Curiously, you never thought this was a problem for Biden, even though he has to be in bed by 8pm.
Good to know you are definitely not angry.
