but then, if he was having thoughts of stepping down, wouldn’t he be handing his vice president opportunities to shine? People don’t like her. Could Joe repair her image in a year? Sure he could. But I don’t think he has the brain power to do that.
I've heard serious pundits opining that Biden is holding a place for the best candidate the Dems can run in the primary. Biden declares his candidacy, blocking VP Harris from running until the primary is well underway. At that point, Biden withdraws, leaving Best Candidate Whoever to win. The Dems, according to these pundits, don't want Kamala revived, rehabilitated, or running. Nor do they want to be seen as skipping over her.

Sound like a plan?
