He'll drop out after the RNC and announce an open convention.
Waiting until then serves two strategic goals:
First, Trump will announce his VP pick right before, or at, at the RNC. Biden dropping out right after that will cut TRUMP's news cycle short and take the attention off of Trump's VP pick and momentum after the RNC.
Second, the RNC will be spent attacking Biden. When Biden pulls out, it will render all that void.

The “benefit” is they announce the successor, who owe Jill and Hunter, not an “open convention” in your sorkin fanfic
Kamala is actually a great choice because obviously Emhoff doesn’t give a shit about being First Gentleman, so they could let Jill stay on as “First Lady Emerita”

is this just a massive hail mary by jill and crackhead hunter? they have to know that he has like a 10-20% chance of winning, right? so they're just gonna boom out and hope that they land on black, and if they don't then oh well trump is president.

i think yes. jill loves power and hunter obviously has his own compelling reasons for wanting his dad to stay president. trump or kamala doesnt matter, they are in the same position once joe is kicked to the curb.

biden is, before anything else, a vain, selfish, and shortsighted man. lol at him offering himself up as a comic relief punching bag only to effectively confirm the gop’s attacks and let that be his final act on the public stage.
I had figured team Biden just wanted to get him past November and then let him retire or die, Kamala takes office and keeps all staff & team in place, the machine continues to run.

I do think he should do this, but OP's two reasons turned out to be hilariously wrong.
"First, Trump will announce his VP pick right before, or at, at the RNC. Biden dropping out right after that will cut TRUMP's news cycle short and take the attention off of Trump's VP pick and momentum after the RNC."
Taking attention from your opponent is always a good idea, but Trump's string of good news has lasted way longer than the RNC. At this point, Biden dropping out just highlights how in shambles the Dems are compared to the RNC.
"Second, the RNC will be spent attacking Biden. When Biden pulls out, it will render all that void."
LOL, this RNC has literally been the most positive, least resentment driven RNC in years. The Dems have a huge problem on their hands.
