Putting aside whatever you think of @POTUS, it is time for him to step aside and allow other candidates to emerge.

We are in an extremely unstable, high-risk world. The job of the president is a high-stress, contact sport that requires extraordinary judgment, leadership, and indefatigable energy. You need to be at your mental and physical prime to succeed. Unfortunately, Biden is falling fast and often.

The argument before was: “He is the only one who can beat @realDonaldTrump.” Recent polling makes it increasingly clear that he will lose to Trump. The polls will only get worse as he deteriorates and the risk in the world increases.

A growing number of liberal Democrats that I know who would never vote for Trump ‘over their dead body’ have recently told me that if the election were held today and the choice was Biden or Trump, they would vote for Trump.

There is a growing sentiment that the global disarray that we are witnessing is due to the perception of weakness in the White House. As such, voters will vote for strength and Biden is only getting weaker. People no longer want to rely on: ״Don’t worry, he will surround himself with good people.”

I know of a couple of extraordinary potential candidates who would likely run if Biden announced that he was not going to, but they won’t otherwise.

Biden’s approval ratings would go up, and the American people would cheer if he gave a speech tomorrow announcing his accomplishments, his goals for the next year, and his acknowledgment that one of the most important qualities of a great leader is knowing when the time has come to step aside for the next generation of leadership.

A year is enough time for a new candidate to build his/her constituency to win the presidency. The country needs a more centered choice to bring us together.

And Trump is highly vulnerable to the right alternative candidate. There are many Republicans who would gladly vote Democrat if a centrist, pro-business Democrat ran for office.

Our divisiveness makes us highly vulnerable to our enemies.

Imagine what life would be like if the substantial majority of Americans could wake up each morning excited about our country’s leader. It has been much too long since this was last true.

There comes a time in life when we must rely on our closest family and friends to put their arms around us, sit us down, and tell us the truth.

If you are one of the President’s closest family members or friends, please tell him that the time has come.

Madame First Lady, please, please do so. It is your most important civic responsibility.

All of us would be incredibly grateful and the world could be a much happier, safer place.
