Some of us ARE growing restless on this…
I know Trump used the back and forth with is political adversaries to get the 2016 nomination….
But it IS uncomfortable watching Donald Trump march across the media day by day ….hour by hour… with scant pushback by the guy who beat him out of the American Presidency….
NBC News: “The president’s seeming disconnect from a major, consequential day in politics was as purposeful as it was predictable. It follows a long-held practice for Biden — one he adhered to after three previous indictments of the GOP front-runner: Stay quiet while Trump tries to convince Americans that Biden has abused the power of the presidency to sideline his likely 2024 election opponent.”
“But it’s not just a muted approach to Trump’s criminal charges, which Biden aides say is intended to demonstrate that his Justice Department acts independently from the White House. Biden has taken an overall gloves-on strategy to Trump, rarely uttering his name and declining to punch back when given the opportunity.”
“Biden’s closest political aides decided that he would not engage in day-to-day political combat until next spring — mirroring the tack taken by former President Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign — even though that affords the former president months of largely unanswered attacks. It’s a political gamble that some Biden allies worry could have potentially perilous consequences.”

Another piece on worries about the lack of Biden’s work to keep his job….
The Democratic elites who hold high office, raise the money and pound the campaign message are all-in when it comes to President Joe Biden’s re-election.
But they’re not oblivious to an uncomfortable reality: Their own voters aren’t sold.
“I’ll say the elephant in the room,” Minyon Moore, chairwoman of the 2024 Democratic convention, said last week in a private phone call discussing the event with party fundraisers. “People talk about his age. But you know what? I come from a family where age is wisdom, knowledge, participation, experience.”
“I would rather have Joe Biden on this field, at this time, than any president,” Moore continued in a call that NBC News was able to hear…..

Your comment doesn’t match the story line here James, although you have decided that Biden isn’t somehow campaigning (did you see him yesterday?).
He’s President James, he has a day job.
Comments like the one above only prove that over the years you have learned nothing.

Your view Keith….
President’s DO HAVE TO go out and beg form vote’s for second term in office…
They ALL do….
And YES he was out yesterday working his labor support line….
Good….
He’s stuck his toe in the water …
He needs to wade into the 2024 campaign more and MORE…..
Keith says
“He needs to….”
Again, you don’t know what you are talking about for many different reasons that are beyond your ability to comprehend.
Go back to telling us that Trump if “fading.”
