Democrats may have been late finding a replacement for Joe to run in 2024, but they did decide on Kamala Harris. There was no "cover-up", although it was a late decision.
If there had been a "cover-up" they would never have permitted Biden to debate Trump in that disastrous debate, which was also hyped more than it probably should have been?
However, if Kamala had not run, and they had kept Joe on the ticket thru the 2024 election, it would have been a deception after the fact. It would then have been a "cover-up".
It is a mistake for Tapper and his co-author to call it a "cover-up". It is a hype job of sorts.
In my opinion, it is important for people to understand what is and what is not a "cover-up".

The damage was insurmountable. VP Harris courageously campaigned.

If there had been a "cover-up", Joe Biden would have been our candidate.

Edited to add: Just called about 6 numbers they have given out as contact numbers, and NONE of them work.
I guess they have been hearing from too many of us. If I find a good one, I'll get back.
