Long speculative piece from today’s Washington Post.
I found these comments from Jack Markell a little–incongruous:
“He’s not the type of guy who is going to let other people’s timetables dictate his,” said Jack Markell, the Delaware governor, the family-chosen surrogate. He argued forcefully that the prospect of Biden failing to protect his father’s seat would not be so catastrophic.
“The implications would be that there would be one fewer seat for the Democrats,” he said. “I don’t think the impact goes on much beyond that. It will be a story for a couple days.”
Bottom line: Nobody knows.
