Replace with who? Nobody has a better shot than him, like it or not.

Having to wait is part of getting asylum. It's not the end of the world. If they absolutely can't wait, they can cross away from the official border crossing

Any of the people who ran in 2020 would probably be fine, they have name recognition and I bet they'd all say yes. That's why they had the debate before the Convention! They wanted to see how Biden would do and he did terribly. He needs to be replaced.

Hell, most of us voted for Biden under the assumption he would be a one term president!

And it is the end of the world for the people who will literally die because they couldn't wait in the US while their asylum claim was being processed. That's the huge part. What the new rules do is force them to remain in Mexico (literally a 2019 Trump policy btw), where people seeking asylum are in mortal danger and will die. Stop trying to normalize this.
