As a U.S. citizen who has been around for more than 77 years, I can’t fathom why so many people favor Donald Trump over Joe Biden.

One bad debate night shouldn’t derail Biden’s election campaign. We all have bad days. We’ve seen President Biden perform admirably over the last few years after inheriting unprecedented crises from Trump, including a raging pandemic and related economic crisis.



Biden genuinely cares about the United States and our democracy. Trump only cares about Trump. Trump faces numerous legal challenges, has been criticized for his handling of the pandemic, and has deepened our political and social divisions.

His controversial foreign policy decisions and undermining of democratic norms weaken America’s global standing. Trump’s behavior of spreading falsehoods and inflammatory rhetoric and his multiple felony convictions are all seen as unbecoming of a president. Bob McColgan , Lantana Joe Biden isn’t going anywhere, but the reasons are not entirely obvious.

First, his wife, First Lady Jill Biden, won’t allow him to resign because she loves the trappings of office, like Air Force One. Second, his electors are tied to him and the $240 million he can use for his campaign. Third, Biden isn’t leaving office to spite former President Obama, who has always given short shrift to Biden’s lack of intellectual heft and personal gravitas.

Lastly, Biden’s resignation would allow the first female president, and she would be Black. That much he canno.
