I said "politically inconsequential"
As in, it used to be a political suicide to promote legalizing weed.
With each passing year, it becomes less controversial and safer to take that stance.

Biden is old and pretty conservative. He's probably just set in his ways, I doubt he actually cares one way or the other, he's just used to opposing it and thinks that's the savvy position to hold.
I can easily see a progressive running mate convincing him to "flip flop" on it, especially post-election.
