I am a 77-year-old lifelong Democrat. I have voted in every election, primary and general, at every level of government, since I became eligible to vote.

I am one of the 14 million Democrats who voted for Joe Biden in the May primary. Difficult as it clearly was for him, I appreciate his decision to step aside. I suggest that the National Democratic Convention nominate Kamala Harris as his successor, as he suggested, and hold a public process to vet her prospective running mate as vice president. That process would satisfy this voter.

Let’s move on to evaluating the mental competency of Donald Trump.
