I reckon no one really has any idea.Where does the Biden decision leave Trump?
Contrary to the popular belief that Trump is now going to walk it in, I do think this decision even at late notice exposes Trump and badly.
The common trend was for everyone to compare Biden to Trump. Trump being the candidate less affected by age. But its a false equivalence. We were effectively comparing a moldy apple with a more moldy apple and asking people to pick one. Clearly the less moldy apple was more appealing.
What is going to happen now is Trump is going to look very old. All the proposed Democrat candidates are 52 (Gretchen Whitmer, 59 (JB Pritzker) and Harris at 59. All 20 years younger than Trump and all seasoned politicians who will clean up Trump in any debate which will rocket their profiles front and centre and ride the new fresh face high into the election.
Honestly, Trump was closer to winning an election with Biden. Now, I think he will almost certainly lose. The womens vote he was so worried about losing will 100% be lost to Harris and Whitmer who will shove Roe v Wade front and centre. This election will now be based on womens rights like predicted.
This has really changed the election race.
I doubt Trump will debate anyone else as you are spot on.
Prepare for this thread to become the output of the GOP dog whistle.
