Yes. But his polling remained flat post-runoff, despite the spending on his side, because the Democratic enthusiasm pouring into the race was matched by the Republican enthusiasm. And in a red-leaning district, voter enthusiasm may not benefit a Democrat so much.
If nothing else it would bring back The Onion’s awesome series of Diamond Joe Biden white trash in the White House stories and I’m very in support of that.
I’ll be seeing Joe speak in Nantucket the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I’ll let y’all know if it feels like a presidential campaign rally or if he’s just standing outside shirtless washing his Trans Am.
Biden should pretend to run for like 2.5 years so the GOP hate machine can spend all that time conditioning their followers that he’s the anti-Christ and then the Dems can swap in a real candidate closer to the election.
