Politics is a nasty and brutal game. Biden’s legacy may grow in time like Grant, LBJ, or Carter but for now it will be tied in most circles to his age, that debate and Trump’s return to power.

Well before Biden announced his reelection campaign, polls among democrats showed very little enthusiasm.

Biden obviously has no political future and he should enjoy his retirement after a long career of public service.
