If Biden resigns now...

If Biden resigns now, Kamala Harris would have a chance to show the US what sort of president she would be. She could keep Biden in the background as an advisor, so as not to lose the benefit of his vast experience and network of contacts. If she does a decent job, her chances of beating Trump in November would be good.
President Harris, unlike Biden, would probably not hesitate to use the new powers of the presidency granted by the immunity decision of the Supreme Court. She could protect the agencies and laws that safeguard consumers, strengthen abortion safeguards, democratize the election process and prevent disgruntled Trump supporters from interfering with poll workers. There are many other policy changes that would benefit We the People and diminish the power of the oligarchs who currently seem to rule America.
Above all, she could bring the traitors to justice, including Trump, who has tried to undermine the current administration in many ways since leaving office. He has also broken many laws, both federal and state: witness tampering, tampering with evidence at Mar-el-Lago, intimidating judges and jurors, lots of other things. He has had no immunity since Jan 21, 2021.
Biden is evidently too scrupulous to expand presidential powers. Harris is younger, with a background as prosecutor, and is much more likely to do what needs to be done to protect our democracy.
