Biden’s Exit Would Undermine Trump’s Entire Strategy

Jonathan Chait: “The people most upset by efforts to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, after Biden and his immediate family, are in the Trump campaign. Donald Trump’s strategy is built around around portraying him as strong and virile, in counterpose to President Biden’s image as old and weak. This strategy importantly concedes most of Trump’s flaws, while subsuming them into a rubric of strength.”

Tim Alberta: “Trump, whatever his countless liabilities as a candidate, would be cast as the dauntless and forceful alpha, while Biden would be painted as the pitiable old heel.”
