How much of an alternative is Joe Biden really?

This means that Biden alone has the power to decide whether he wants to run again. And he made it clear: he wants to. Even as a young senator from Delaware, he dreamed of the White House. Now that he has conquered it, he doesn’t want to give it up again. And what’s more: The president believes he is the only Democrat who can beat Trump. Whether that’s true is another question, but it’s important to recognize that four years ago Biden managed to forge a coalition that ranged from democratic socialists to moderate Republicans.
