The whole "Biden should step down" thing stinks like Republican ratfuckery to me.
As far as I can see, the only safe way to do that at this point would be for Harris to take over RIGHT NOW (via 25th amendment), announce her candidacy, and pick a VP.
Then she needs to go to the mattresses to keep the Supreme Court majority from ganging up to disqualify her on some spurious grounds. (But at least they handed her a loaded gun in the shape of presidential immunity!)
