From one of my oldest friends, fellow memo reader and informed political source "Steve Banon said on Fox this past week that Biden will be "replaced as the presidential candidate at the convention".
Unless all of the party leadership went to him en mass and said you have to withdraw because we cannot support you, he has the nomination. I can see legal battles if they force him out without his acquiescence. Who would be the candidate?
Michelle Obama
Andrew Cuomo
Would be the two most potent candidates and together, a strong challenge to Trump"

Zito's exclusive interview with Pennsylvania Gov Tom Wolf
By Salena Zito
“No one has ever used the word ‘charisma’ when they're describing Tom Wolf,” says the 47th governor of Pennsylvania.
After a slight pause, he laughs and adds, “Feel free to disagree with me.”
After a slight pause, he laughs and adds, “Feel free to disagree with me.”
It’s a hard thing to disagree with.
If there was one thing you could say about the Jeep-driving, intellectual, liberal, quiet-as-a-church-mouse Democrat who runs the fifth-most populous state in the country, it's that he knows he does not exude charisma in a profession and culture that demands it. And he is OK with that.
Like most everyone, Wolf is sheltered at his home where he says he has essentially been for the past six weeks, along with his wife, Frances.
There is no dog, nor any kids, they are all up and out.
The couple both share dinner and dishes duties. He explains, “The deal is if I cook, Frances does the dishes, and if she cooks, I do the dishes.”
Most of the day though he is working and communicating with staff, experts, researchers, scientists, medical professionals, members of the General Assembly, and county officials navigating a crisis none of the other 49 governors or the president of the United States has ever navigated before.
During the interview, I can’t see him and he can’t see me. He is sitting at his desk. His wife Frances took a photo of him on the phone during his interview with the Washington Examiner and emailed it.
In the interview, he admits he’s angered his left flank for allowing some fracking to continue under the shutdown, the right for initially shutting down gun shops, the middle for not allowing construction work to continue, the press for limited access in his press conferences, and everyone for shutting down the liquor stores.
“They are open now, Salena,” he deadpans, then laughs.
