@inthehands I have no inside knowledge but I heard that they refreshed some polling that hadn't been done in a while to clarify where they stood and that Biden getting COVID may have helped clarify his thinking on whether he wanted to keep busting his ass trying to right the campaign, only to win another 4 years of struggle, or just take a victory lap and retire. Clearly he coordinated with many many Dems though because all the press releases and statements today were not _reactions_ to news.
