It's Biden or Bust

With President Biden officially launching his re-election bid today, I think America has a very clear choice.

It's Biden or Bust.

I think it's very clear we are going to have a Biden vs. Trump rematch in 2024. Despite being under indictment, no one holds a candle to Trump in the Republican Party much less is prepared to give him any heat. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis isn't ready for prime time and no one else in the GOP remotely presents a threat to Trump's dominance. 

So long as this state of affairs prevails it is equally clear that Joe Biden is a moral person and Donald Trump is an immoral person. President Biden has spent his time in the White House governing for the benefit of all Americans whether through his efforts to get Americans vaccinated against COVID, passage of the infrastructure bill, health care and climate initiatives plus student debt relief while defeated, former President Trump spends most of his time talking about himself with the desire to seek vengeance on those who dare to differ from him should he return to the White House by hook or by crook. 

This is not a tough call.

Still, I harbor no illusions. This will be a hard-fought campaign with Biden needing to make sure he can hold onto the states he gained in 2020 (Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia and Arizona) while keeping a close eye on states like Nevada and New Hampshire (particularly those who might be sore about the impending change to the scheduling of the New Hampshire Primary) and perhaps a possible opening in North Carolina. 

While I am confident that Biden can once again defeat Trump, I do worry about a Republican House or Senate disregarding the will of the American voter and creating a constitutional crisis over non-existent, but persistent claims of voter fraud. 

Hopefully Americans will have the good sense to choose to maintain Democratic control over the Senate and return control of the House to Democrats, so we need not worry about such mischief. Even so there remains the possibility that Trump will once again summon his devotees to Washington D.C. to prevent Biden from taking office for a second time. The fact that is a possibility is all the more reason to make the case that America has a choice between Biden or bust.
