When it comes to octogenarian President Joe Biden’s re-election run, his approval ratings are an obvious issue. They are nothing, to be sure, that the Dems would approve of—but, then, he has won the passage of meaningful legislation requiring pandemic relief, infrastructure funding and climate-change measures. It won’t necessarily heal “the soul of the nation,” as Biden promised in 2019, but it does help position him to, as he recently underscored, “finish the job” and protect our citizenry from Trump’s Amerika.
And it would help if Vice President Kamala Harris uses her forum to make the galvanizing case on the abortion issue.
And who knows? Trump—being Trump—could wind up going third-party rogue and do for Biden what Ross Perot did for Bill Clinton.
