Really wish we didn't need to wait for politicians to die of old age before we could replace them...

I imagine in this case there's a little more to it, namely that incumbent presidents overwhelmingly win a second term. The last time a sitting President failed to do so prior to Trump was all the way bac in 1993.

I don't like Biden, hell, I don't like electoral politics; but it's probably wise in a party-political sense.
