25. A Biden strategy? A cancel culture move? Which of these? What just happened?

I'm uncomfortable with the subversion of the primary and nominating process, with the rapidity and force with which this was done. If Biden was part of the strategy, so be it, it could be genius, but if not, it kind of reeks to me how in 4 weeks he was cancelled from re-election.

What is the plan moving forward? I remember Biden was nobody's favorite in 2020 until it was realized Biden was the one person polling consistently ahead of TFG. That took months and months to figure out. We haven't left ourselves with that process this time.
