Yeah absolutely right. Biden will now just be remembered as the guy who was president in the gap during the Trump story.
Also it is not just old man hubris, it’s also a classic example of people at the top of the party acting in their own interests rather than the party’s. Bidens appointees and staff had a vested interest in him staying on as a new leader would pick other people. And then they had a vested interest in appointing Harris and running her campaign as a continuation of his, trying to keep themselves in power.
The whole thing was a shit show at the top of the democratic party. The irony is them saying trump is a threat to democracy when they did everything possible to prevent a democratic process in their own party.
