The ridiculous claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 US presidential election was the first big lie to infect its politics. Now Joe Biden has presented Democrats with a big lie of his own. Will his party swallow the whopper that he is fit to be president for the next four-and-a-half years? If yes, why on earth would voters go along with this charade?
There are plenty of Americans who would rather vote for a dead Biden than a live Trump, but not enough to win. Has anybody asked what the under-thirties think? The young will not get out of bed for this 81-year-old president. And not just them — according to a CBS poll, 72 per cent of the electorate believe Biden is too gaga to lead. Optimistically, he could be out of the race by next week, particularly if he flubs a friendly, pre-recorded interview with ABC, scheduled for the July 4 weekend.
