Knowing when your job is done is hard when you have power. Joe Biden's job in 2016 was to unite the Democrats to defeat Trump. Job done. Now with Trump still in the picture, Biden feels it is necessary to take Trump on again. The situation is different now with Trump facing 91 felony charges and trials next year looming. What if one of his felony convictions occurs and the Republicans decide they want to go with a consensus choice like Nikki Haley and the Democrats are left with an aging Biden? Watch where Republicans go as some of the candidates drop out. Haley will rise to the alternative to Trump. That is not the matchup that the Democrats want but might get. How many Democrat and Republican women would vote to have the first woman president in Haley? It would be better now to recognize that possibility and my choice for the Democrats would be Gretchen Whitmer. How about a Whitmer/Buttigieg ticket that puts a whole different spin on the race than the Dems going with Biden.
P.S.
Of course, if it comes down to a Biden/Trump race again it is an easy choice to stay with Biden.
