Spectator USA: Republicans can’t quit Donny
Republicans can't quit Trump, despite his decreasing favorability. Trump's hold on the party is seen as a liability, but potential primary candidates don't have strong appeal either. Meanwhile, Biden's legal problems continue to escalate, with whistleblowers revealing that the DoJ hindered investigations into Hunter Biden and avoided questioning Joe Biden. Another serious candidate challenging Biden's unpopularity and legal issues would be a liability for his reelection. The possibility of a strong Democratic candidate like Joe Manchin remains unlikely. In the 2024 election, the Supreme Court and the pressure for justices to recuse themselves will be important topics. Democrats may try to push for recusals instead of court-packing.
