With Election Day only three months away, Democrats should be rallying around President Biden’s eminently defensible record. errollouis writes
Photo: Sarah Silbiger/Getty Images Last week, Democratic Representative Carolyn Maloney of the Upper East Side, chair of the powerful House Committee on Oversight and Reform, made national headlines by telling me, in the middle of a high-stakes televised debate, that she thinks Joe Biden will voluntarily be a one-term president.
But that hasn’t stopped the chatter within the party about who might step up if Biden does, indeed, decide to drop out. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has been giving speeches in New Hampshire and Florida, two early primary states. Some aides to Senator Bernie Sanders recently floated a memo about his making a possible third bid for the White House; others are pushing Representative Ro Khanna of California to consider running.
But this might be the worst possible time for Democrats to be distracted and divided by discussions about whether Biden, at 79, the oldest man to ever serve as president, is too old to run for a second term. With Election Day only three months away, the party should be laser focused on trying to buck a decades-long tradition of the president’s party losing, on average, more than two dozen seats in Congress in the midterms. And that means rallying around Biden’s eminently defensible record.
