I was at a dinner party on Wednesday night and the conversation turned to the next presidential election. Although this was a room full of Democratic voters, everyone was in agreement that Biden should announce that he is not running for re-election. Mind you, this was before the Special Council was named in his now mini-scandal of having in his possession classified documents. I was on the fence about this until I heard him talking this morning at a press conference with Japan PM Fumio Kishida. He sounded so friggin’ tired and uninspired.



Let me be clear: I am so glad that Biden beat Trump as that is expressly what he set out to do. And although we have fun with Dark Biden — mainly because he has gotten so much done — I don’t think that meme will maintain any semblance of meaning in the next 2 years. Do we really expect any major legislation to pass going forward? I for one, do not.



I think the Democratic Party has a deep bench of talent and it is time to allow them to shine. If Biden should announce that he is not running, that should take the wind out of the sails that he is trying to knee-cap his political opponents vis-a-vis the Department of Justice. Allow the GOP to self destruct and allow our leaders to come forth and be recognized.



What are your thoughts about this?
