President Joe Biden fell while handing out diplomas at Air Force Academy.
The Biden White House has had few reasons to celebrate anything this year but after Tuesday's election night they did: Democrats enjoyed a clean sweep in the crucial races that mattered.
The Democrats not only kept control of Virginia's state senate but took back the lower house from the Republicans, a slap in the face for Glenn Youngkin, elected Republican governor of this increasingly blue state in 2021. His presidential ambitions, for 2024 or 2028, have suffered a crushing blow. Team Biden quickly dismissed the poll as irrelevant because the election is a year away. True enough. There is plenty of water to flow under the bridge between now and voting day on November 5, 2024. But these naysayers are the very same people who championed a year-out poll in 2019 showing Biden to be the best Democratic bet against Trump for 2020 — which turned out to be right.
Age, it turns out, is undermining Biden in more ways than one: 71 percent of all voters now believe he's too old to run, while 62 percent fear he's no longer sharp enough. A September poll found only a third think he'd survive a full second term . Team Biden think this is unfair. The US economy has had the strongest post-pandemic recovery of any major economy in the world, unemployment is lower than most other economies and inflation has fallen faster.
The 'Dump Biden' bandwagon might be slowed by this week's election results. But it won't be derailed. It will regain momentum with every Biden gaffe and stumble to come. Meanwhile Trump is more of a shoo-in than ever for the Republican nomination.
