wouldn’t it be infinitely easier to just make him win, let him croak, and get harris in the job rather than have to start a campaign for her from scratch? within a few months?
The assumption here is that you can make him win, which is far from a given. Democrats win when turnout is high, and turnout is high when voters are enthusiastic about their candidate. “Vote for the senile guy! It’s OK, he’s gonna die soon,” isn’t a message that inspires enthusiasm.
That doesn’t give the same click inducing headlines though. Sewing doubt and spreading bullshit, however, drives up their ad revenue. All these so called polling numbers are fucking made up.

This is why people say “you vote for an administration, not just a president”.
