Joe Biden it’s a bit touching. Despite the various doubts about his health raised by the opposition during his mandate, the Democrats have decided to bet on him again for the White House in the challenge with Donald Trump, a repeat of what happened in 2020. And we all know how the story unfolds: the outgoing president between one gaffe and another, with many international embarrassments such as at the G7. Biden does not seem to intend to withdraw and the world of the left is in a tailspin, with dozens of parliamentarians busy asking him to step down for the good of the country. But there’s more: a sort of game show to find the ideal replacement. And this is no small initiative, considering the big names involved.
Biden is not considered up to the task, the lapses recorded in recent public appearances are too dangerous, starting with the disastrous confrontation with Trump. Well, according to what was reported in the specialized press, the Democrats have received a proposal from Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown law professor who served in the Obama and Clinton administrations and as a volunteer political consultant for the 2020 Biden campaign: a plan to enlist three women and shuffle the cards, that is Michelle Obama, Taylor Swift and Oprah Winfrey. Attention, no possible candidacy for the White House but a new experience, such as leading public forums to identify the best alternative to the outgoing president. A bit like if Sabrina Guzzanti, Francesca Michielin and Serena Bortone presented the events for the candidate for prime minister of the Democratic Party. A hypothesis not far from reality.
Biden’s escape route is included in the price: given the difficulties, he would be considered a hero for his step back, a sort of modern-day George Washington, capable of putting aside his lust for power for the good of the country. Obviously there will be no white smoke for this plan, starting from this last point: Biden Won’t Give Up Candidate Seat. “He’s ready, he’s on fire.” So says White House spokeswoman Karine Jean Pierre: “He wants to continue to demonstrate that he still has work to do. He has more important issues to resolve for the American people.” But it’s particularly funny – if not ridiculous – that Democrats think they can rely on Taylor Swift or Oprah to convince voters not to choose Trump. The usual self-assurance, the same as Clinton, who took an unprecedented beating against the tycoon. As if a like, a TV share or a musical success could make us forget the pathetic conditions of the star-spangled left, destined for an unprecedented Caporetto. With or without Oprah.
