(My new American Thinker post)
May you live in interesting times, or something like that. I feel pretty confident that whoever it was who came up with that line could not have imagined the Biden presidency.
According to a new poll, some voters don't think Mr. Biden will be around until the end:
Such a question might have seemed a bit over the top, as Biden only entered office in January of 2021. But, after a year of record inflation and gasoline price hikes, devastating COVID lockdowns, a surge of illegal immigration, the botched departure from Afghanistan, and growing questions over the 79-year-old president's mental fitness, a surprising number of Americans now think Biden won't last even another two and a half years in office, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll.
The poll asked adults: "In your opinion, how likely is it that Joe Biden will complete his first term in office?"
Predictably, most Americans (71%) said Biden was likely to last through his four years.
But 21%, or one in five, said it was "not likely" he would last.
Do you ever recall anything like this? I don't, and you probably don't, either. At the same time, do you recall a modern candidate who campaigned from his basement? Or one who avoided questions at all cost? Or one who sat down only with friendly reporters? Or a president who always speaks to the nation when no one is watching — i.e., in the afternoon? Or one who will not answer questions? Or one who "gaffes" as often as President Biden?
Honestly, I hope he sticks around until the next inauguration. I can't wait to see the civil war that the party is about to embark on when V.P. Harris faces a challenge from Mrs. Clinton or Secretary Pete.
In the meantime, how is this playing overseas? It can't be good.
