Despite Biden's finding out soon after Trump took office that he had metastatic cancer in his bones (that still shocks the hell out of me it was not caught much sooner given his sometimes overwhelming joint pain)--despite that and his advanced age which made Kamala Harris a natural alternative--despite all that, is there ANYONE here who does not think we would be better off with him in as President and Harris continuing on as VP until Biden was unable to hold the office? Anyone?

Well, age is a number. So are years of experience. Youth and enthusiasm count too and Pearson has that in spades. But, I still don't like this.
