He is still a good guy, was always a good guy, perhaps not as slick as Clinton or smart as Obama, but has spent his entire career in public service. He was a very popular and effective Senator and was a key member in the Obama administration dealing with Congress. He was instrumental in the passage of Obamacare.
AND he had an outstanding first term, working with his people in Congress to always outfox the MAGA obstructers, averting the attempted shutdowns and instead getting landmark legislation passed. He had a record that, with the strong economy, should have rightfully earned him a second term. That sense, on his part, may be part of why he ran, and I opposed his stepping down. I figured Biden at 1/2 effective was miles better than Trump. But circumstances were unusual, and the swing to Harris has been tremendous, better than Biden continuing.
