He's not pulling the strings even in his own head. Whether it's his wife, Obama or someone else the lights are on but no-one is home.
When they drop him there's inevitably going to be questions over who is running the country. More importantly: who has been? He's not got into this condition overnight and the Democrats, and allies in the media, are complicit in at best a deceit and at worst a fraud by keeping him in office and stage managing the primaries.
Trump will have a field day on the campaign given the accusations levelled at him.

Bottom line is they have to pay off Harris, and it’s going to cost them.
If they don’t get Biden off the ticket by August, he’s running.
It’s not like here, in the US you are predominantly voting for the man not the party.
You can’t just drop someone in.

They defo need someone before the convention in mid-August. After that Harris is (realistically) the only alternate game in town. Party rules do permit a process to pick someone else if Biden withdraws but it's late in the day to elevate some Governor with limited national profile to the top of the ticket.
Begs the question why Biden picked Harris at all?
