There’s a reason Biden hasn’t done a single on-camera interview with an American media outlet for 200 days now: He can’t defend his record even under friendly questioning.
But if the focus is on Trump instead, enraged Democrats will unite, pause their intercine warring while independents will abstain or vote against the GOP.
Yes, Trump still has most of his his true believers. But most Republicans would rather the ex-president went away, so the party can figure out where it’s going in the post-Trump future.
That is, how to solidify what could be a natural GOP majority, incorporating all the voters who reject Democrats’ increasingly disturbing social and economic agendas — which play only to the obsessions of the woke cultural elite.
Those GOPers know Trump’s already an albatross: His “stolen election” derangement in late 2020 is why Dems control the Senate now, and his endorsements in this year’s primaries have helped saddle Republicans with enough weak Senate candidates this year that retaking the chamber seems increasingly out of reach.
