My preference would be for them to flip the ticket. Put Kamala as first and him as vice. I don't really care for her, but it would be worlds better than another Trump reign of terror. Flipping the ticket would be the least destabilizing move and would appease the concerns of age while also keeping him on for those that didn't like her (or a woman).
Please no. I don't want a career prosecutor as president. I don't even want her as VP, because the odds of Biden leaving office during the term for whatever reason are pretty high.
People hate her more than Biden.
There are too many sexist voters that would never vote for a woman. Look at Hilary, even ignoring how unlikeable she could be, a ton of people were very vocal about not voting for her only because she was female, including other women.
Besides, I'm fairly certain Kamala is making a lot of the current decisions anyway. Joe and her have been together a lot more than other VPs and Presidents in the past.
You can't ignore that, because it's the reason she lost. And despite it, she won the popular vote and came really close to winning the election. We easily could have had a woman president if she didn't have Hillary's baggage.
People didn't like Hillary for lots of legitimate reasons as well. A different female candidate like Whitmer would do fine. I think AOC is the best choice personally though.
