Prediction: Sorry Democrats, Biden Isn't Going Anywhere

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Leaders of the party did everything in their power to move on from Trump.
42% : Unlike Trump, Democratic political figures actually care what their thought leaders think about them, argues Douthat.
42% : Republican elites are at the mercy of Trump and his throng of supporters, whereas Democratic elites are dealing with a much more obedient, quiescent base.
39% : Trump's conviction that he should seek the presidency again is a more powerful motivator for Trump than the party's conviction that he should go away quietly.
32% : Polls showing that other Republicans had an even greater chance of beating Biden in 2024 made little difference to Trump; Trump wants Trump to be the president, not just any Republican.
30% : Trump has been willing to risk nearly everything -- including his freedom -- in order to retain control over the GOP and regain the presidency.
24% : (Trump did not attend.)
19% : It's at least possible that if Biden were convinced he had no shot at beating Trump, and some charismatic Democratic rival had a good chance at beating Trump, he would step aside.
18% : According to recent polls, Biden is likely to lose to Trump.
5% : Leading Republicans, including the two most recent Republican presidential nominees at the time -- Mitt Romney and John McCain -- called on Trump to quit the race, but Trump defied them all.
3% : A CNN poll has Biden six points behind Trump and Harris two points behind Trump.To be clear, this could be a meaningful difference if you're the Democratic Party and your only goal is to maximize your odds of beating Trump.
