I'm not convinced that Biden will see the end of his one and only term. He seems hale and hearty, but the Presidency is an enormous burden that may weigh too heavily on a man his age.

How well do we really know Kamala Harris?
I can imagine Joe Biden resigning for reasons of health and being satisfied that he fulfilled his critical role in American history, especially should that diagnosis suggest him losing his ability to perform the Office of the Presidency. He seems to take oaths and scientific reality (which I assume includes medical diagnoses) seriously. There is hardly an incoming President on whom we have a more complete knowledge of his past through his voting record.
If Biden retires mid-term, we know exactly what one of the crises of this 4T would be.
Kamala Harris had very little support in the presidential primaries. She's not only despised by anyone left of Kissinger, but the right hate her as well.
