I do think he would have won. But passing the torch and letting the next generation shine to the world was absolutely the right thing to do. The Presidency ages one as it is and the telomeres were growing short.
Never since George Washington have we had a President who felt he could win the next election but chose not to run in it for the sake of the country’s well-being. My late Republican Senator Uncle Bob was right: Joseph Biden is a very good man.
I was glad when Kamala Harris ran for California Attorney General, ie finally a statewide office so I could vote for her, and I have every chance since.
I’m really, really curious who the new VP candidate will be!

It’s early days yet, but I have been pleasantly surprised by how orderly this seems. So far, at least!
