Yes, we have a VP "if" he gets elected who can step in, but you have to agree that this is not an ideal situation that will convince undecided voters to vote D. "Don't worry, the VP can step in if the President is mentally incapable" does not make a compelling campaign message!

Not sure about that, at least one recent poll has Harris doing better against Trump vs Biden against Trump.

They aren't ready until they are, it has to happen sometime. Regarding the polls, she's certainly doing well enough to be within the margin of error. Sure, they aren't 100% reliable, but there is a difference between polling say 2 pts behind vs 20 points behind.

Yep, which is why Biden is probably not going to make a decision immediately. If his poll numbers start to crater in the next couple weeks the pressure on him to drop out will keep increasing. If they stabilize he'll have more ammunition to stay in.
