Biden’s legacy: ‘History will treat Biden kinder than voters had…he defeated a president who placed himself above our democracy’
Joe Biden never figured out how to inspire the world’s most powerful country to believe in itself, let alone in him. He lost the confidence of supporters in the 90-minute debate with Trump, even if pride initially prompted him to override the fears of lawmakers, party elders and donors who were nudging him to drop out. Then Trump survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, and, as if on cue, pumped his fist in strength. Biden, while campaigning in Las Vegas, tested positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday and retreated to his Delaware beach house to recover.
