 Who has the authority to tap President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden on the shoulder and say, you have served the nation so well for decades, but now it's time to pass the torch? So who has the ear of Dr. Biden and President Biden? Because the authority lies strictly with President Biden. This is his choice to make and no one else's based on how the DNC works and based on the number of committed delegates he's already secured through the primary process.
