“Donald Trump and his campaign hope President Biden stays in the race, believing they can beat him even with Trump’s felony conviction and other charges. But they are also ramping up attacks on Vice President Harris,” the Washington Post reports.

Privately, they have started preparing for different possibilities, and feel it could be harder to beat another Democrat who is not Biden or Harris.”Vanity Fair: The Trump campaign wants to face Biden, not a replacement.
