As president, Joe Biden has exceeded my expectations. He has not been perfect but he really excelled at doing the things he was elected to do (wow, have you looked at how well the US economy has recovered as compared to our near-peer friends and competitors? And capping the cost of insulin, and doing everything he could do to relieve student loan debt, and so many other things).
Joe Biden has more political savvy and understanding of human nature in his little finger than I could ever aspire to figure out. He has proven over and over again that he wants what is best for all Americans.
The stakes of this coming presidential election are existential...our country’s democracy and the very survival of the human race on our rapidly warming planet hang in the balance. Should he drop out to make way for a younger, possibly more electable candidate? Should he stay in the race to use the advantage of incumbency to win the election? I have no idea.
You know who I trust to make the right decision? Joe Biden. He has all the information. He has a bone-deep understanding of the political ramifications of any decision. And he wants what is best for all of us. If he stays in, he has my full support. If he bows out, I’m confident he will lay the groundwork for a smooth and successful succession to whoever steps up, and that person will have my full support.
I trust Joe Biden to make the right decision, whatever decision he makes.
