I think Clooney and others will be back if Biden stays in, but I don't think he will stay in. He needed to get the NATO summit wrapped up, and now that he has, I think he's going to bow out and he'll get feted big time at the convention.
I agree that it was a little ugly, and the double standard truly sucks.
But a Harris/Warnock or similar ticket could really fire up the youth vote.
If Biden stays in, I think the campaign absolutely must emphasize Kamala in waiting as the insurance plan. They could excite the Never Trumper Republicans by promising to give her point on further Trump-related prosecutions and oversight of a choice of a new AG who isn't afraid to be more aggressive.
