Brandon can’t step aside unless Kamala steps aside first. If Brandon steps aside first, Kamala has to be the nominee because black (ish) woman. If Kamala is the nominee, the whole house of cards comes toppling down because she’s terrible by any measure, but worse than that, she doesn’t have any inside-the-beltway infrastructure of people to protect her (in large part because she’s terrible by any measure and can’t keep staffers.)
It’s a suicide pact. Two turtles on two fenceposts.
But don’t get cocky. There’s nothing more unifying than a common enemy, and Trump has plenty of enemies. Brandon won’t lose, he has to be beaten.
