The presidency is his to lose. After half a century in public life and more than three decades of chasing the Oval Office, Joe Biden is finally dominating presidential election polling, crucially because the election has become a referendum against President Trump. Biden just bet big on his lead, throwing caution to the wind and tapping Kamala Harris as his running mate and thus making her the most likely person on the planet to become the 47th president.
Biden leads Trump by double digits in most national polls, and more importantly, he's maintained a sizable lead in crucial states and among seniors. As it turns out, bunkering down in a Delaware basement and issuing milquetoast policy drafts while Trump tweets his way out of the presidency is a pretty decent strategy when you're not nearly as despised as Hillary Clinton.
But Biden might just have botched the most vital decision of his entire career.
