Based on the polling, it seems there are no good options for the Democrats. Whatever they do now, they're unlikely to beat Trump.

The time to address the issue of Biden's successor was 1-2 years ago.

The DNC must be one of the most incompetent and insular political organisations in the western world.

Biden support slips in deep blue New York:‘We’re a battleground state now’
Democrats are worried the president is taking New York for granted as the state becomes surprisingly competitive.

Politico

NEW YORK — President Joe Biden has a new problem: a competitive race in deep blue New York.

Elected officials, union leaders and political consultants are panicking over polls showing a steady erosion of Biden’s support in a state he won by 23 points four years ago. They’re so worried they’ve been trying to convince the Biden team to pour resources into New York to shore up his campaign and boost Democrats running in a half-dozen swing districts that could determine control of the House.

Biden aides have not focused on New York, committing no significant resources to a state where they expect the president to easily win all 28 electoral college votes in November.


But the warning signs are impossible to ignore and have been building over the past year. Two private polls conducted in a swing New York House district and reviewed by POLITICO — one in September and another in March — found former President Donald Trump leading Biden there by 1 point, a virtual tie. And public polls over the last four months found Biden’s lead had winnowed to just 8 points across New York — an unusually narrow gap in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2 to 1.

“We’re still acting like this is a one-party state, which for pretty much 20, 25 years it has been,” Democratic Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine said. “I truly believe we’re a battleground state now.”

This is the price we pay when we nominate and elect an extremely old person as president. Sooner or later it is going to bite us in the ass and it just did. Hopefully we can regain the house and keep the senate close to have divided government under President Trump. It's happening and we must fight for the best.

Trump is also old and will become very unpopular as he did the last time. People hate loserterism! The democrats will gain seats under him and will win the white house again in 2028.
