Relevant portion of interview here.

“I think it’s a legitimate question to say, is this an episode or is this a condition? When people ask that question, it’s completely legitimate — of both candidates.”

Of course she's quick to "both-sides" the night, but that's politics for you. If she's saying this during an interview, I can only speculate on what's going on behind closed doors. The wagons are not closing around the Biden campaign.

It definitely seems like the Dems are beginning to manufacture consent for replacing Biden on the ticket. I'm skeptical as to whether that'd be the right play here, but every option needs to be on the table to give them the best chance at preventing a second Trump term.

Not running the incumbent is why we got the first Trump term. Swapping out your incumbent is like hitting on a 19 in blackjack. It's not the play.
