I'll give it another go if you like...So can Biden win a second term or do they need a new candidate? - sorry if already mentioned but my eyes glaze over as soon as I open this thread
IMO my gut feel is Biden should take the unprecedented mid-term success and go out on a high. Generally Presidents announce another run in the new year after the mid-terms, so he's got a few months to consider. While I think he's done a great job appealing as both a centrist and progressive (not sure @moorey would agree there) and made himself a very small target both campaigning in 2020 and during the mid-terms, his age is starting to defy him and the minor slip ups and gaffes (if they continue) can easily be used to paint him as incompetent and unfit for office. Also he'll be 82 in 2024.
There's plenty of talent in the Democrat ranks to find someone who has the same values and appeals to the same breadth of people as Biden. Big shoes to fill though.
