In 2020, conservative voices were quick to point out that Joe Biden might just be a pawn in the Democrats’ game, a placeholder until it was time for Kamala Harris to take the reins. Well, after the disaster that was his Afghanistan withdrawal, many on the right believed that to be an even more likely scenario. But lo and behold, the man himself announced that he was not only seeking a second term, but also planning to stick around. Cue the disappointment for those Democrats who were hoping he’d gracefully exit stage left.
The left may have been all in for Biden publicly, but behind the scenes, big Democratic donors like Don Peebles spilled the beans to Fox News that they were expecting Biden to be a one-term president all along. It seems even the Democrat donor class wasn’t betting on Joe to go the distance. With murmurs of discontent starting to bubble up, questions about his mental acuity on full display, and even donors starting to distance themselves, the writing on the wall seems to be getting clearer by the day.

Despite the chaos within his own camp, Biden seems determined to push forward, brushing off any doubts about his candidacy. Peebles pointed out that Biden has his eyes set on the nomination and is seemingly unfazed by the mounting opposition brewing within his party. With even staunch supporters becoming scarce and the blame game picking up speed, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that Biden’s bid for a second term might not end well.
Now, with his once touted historic record in jeopardy and the looming possibility of a Trump comeback, Democrats are left scrambling. What was once hailed as a successful presidency in their eyes is now at risk of being tarnished by a potential second term bid gone awry. If current trends continue, Biden may find himself bearing the brunt of the blame for a Trump victory, undoing whatever legacy he was desperately trying to carve out for himself.
As the election drama unfolds, it’s becoming clearer that Biden’s decision to run again may backfire, leaving Democrats in disarray and potentially paving the way for a Trump resurgence. The fallout from this gamble could not only define Biden’s legacy but also shape the future of the Democratic Party for years to come.
