Question: Could Biden get elected, then at some point decide he's no longer fit for duty? Would that still make Harris president?

Yes, if the president stops being president, for any reason, the VP becomes president. That's what I'm saying would be incredibly sad.

If he voluntarily stepped down, I don't think it would be that sad. Kind of sad that Americans are not yet ready to vote a woman into presidency, if that's what you mean, but otherwise it looks fine?

That's exactly what I mean.
