The Walt Harris at Stanford of Presidents, but I don’t recall anyone clamoring for him to be retained.
Interestingly, the 25th amendment would be more effective applied to Biden than Trump. The 25th amendment is used for incapacitated Presidents, not those with whom we strongly disagree and/or despise. Even if the requisite politicians mounted the appropriate coup, all Trump would have to do is state that he's capable of executing the duties of the President of the United States. He's not senile...yet. Whereas, given his rate of deterioration, I could see Biden not being able to muster up that simple sentence. I firmly believe Biden will be elected, and I've been saying so for a very long time. But basically, you're voting for whoever he selects as VP, because that's who'll be running the country within a year after the inauguration.
On another topic, here's a poll of 2,000 adults, conducted three weeks ago. To quote the last paragraph: "Meanwhile, 30% of those polled think President Trump was unprepared at the beginning of the pandemic, but 62% think that he has handled the crisis well overall." Yikes.
