It’s hard to be absolutely sure, but I think the chances of him winning were very, very slim.
I know his internal numbers were supposedly very bad, but it’s also hard to say how that stacks up with the fact that Kamala is also POC and a woman and we know that is definitely still a factor, unfortunately.
My guess - and without actually holding an election, that’s all it can be - is that his results would have been worse than Kamala’s.
Joe Biden’s internal polling reportedly showed that Donald Trump was on track to win 400 electoral votes in a head-to-head matchup according to one of the pod save america bros
Yeah I think the Democrats would have lost no matter who they ran IMO. I think Trump won the second that assassin missed and he did the fist pump in front of the American flag. That’s exactly the sort of shit people eat up.
And it’s funny that Biden’s all pissy about it because I think he actually did play it the best way he could to benefit himself personally - by dropping out he wins no matter what. If Harris had won, he’d have looked heroic for stepping aside and ‘putting country before himself’ or whatever, and now that she lost, he can just say “well I would have won if I’d stayed” which you can’t really prove definitively one way or the other.

And the Beast arose from an attack that should have been lethal, more powerful than before.
