The BlueLabs draft memo, first acquired by Politico, found that “nearly every tested Democrat performs better than the President” in the swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
The memo singled out four Democrats who bested Biden’s results by roughly 5 points overall across the battleground states: Sen. Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Vice President Harris also outperformed Biden in polling but by a smaller margin than the top four, according to the memo.
[...]
Polling also found that about 3 percent of Trump voters would back an alternative Democrat if Biden steps aside, and about 1 percent of Biden voters would switch to Trump if the president is no longer on the ticket.
Overall, the memo said Trump leads the presidential race “comfortably” as of now.

If there's a decision to be made, they better pull the trigger soon.
Interesting choice of words.
