Trump picked someone who had compared him to Hitler as his veep... a decision I'm sure he regrets, but which actually demonstrates the impulsivity key to his malignant narcissistic personality disorder. But I think we can safely assume that RFKJr will not be pulling out and endorsing T, as some have said he might. Yesterday, along with the truly bizarre dead bear story, it was reported that he called Trump a "sociopath." Which is one of the more accurate things he's said on any subject recently.
Unrelated point: we all give Biden much-deserved credit for realizing that stepping aside and letting Harris take the torch was the right thing to do for the country. Here's another reason, not often talked about. In Alan Lichtman's "keys to the White House," incumbency is a big plus. But it works both ways. Harris inherits at least some of this advantage for 24, but where it could really matter is in 28. It will be Harris's first term, and she can run again. Obviously, Biden would not have been able to. We need a long term of Democratic governance to resettle American politics on the shared truth of integrated elections, etc. if we are to overcome the gradual slide into fascism that has been the direction we've been heading for far too long already. So, if by stepping aside Biden has made a two term presidency more likely for his successor, that, too, is an important reason to celebrate his decision.
