Member-only story
I’m betting Biden wins for the following reasons:
- He’s been in the political arena for 50 years. He has years of built up connections and relationships on both sides of the aisle.
- Having been in the political game so long, he intuitively understands the broad dynamics of the national electorate and what will get him re-elected. Though senescence is inevitable, the shrewd political instincts are still there.
- He has a grandfatherly vibe the voters will appreciate.
- Working class background, from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Longtime Senator for Delaware, 2 time VP. Incumbent President.
- Many establishment leaders from various spaces (government, private sector, unions, academia, etc.) will get behind him as a figure of institutional stability.
- He’s been through a lot of hardship and shown tremendous resilience. Again, the voters will appreciate a presidential candidate with this life experience despite all the flaws.
