Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, a sign of the president’s strength in uniting his party to have the backing of one of its most liberal members.

I would love to see Biden not run but instead prop up someone else younger. I think Gov Newsom or Evers would be great picks.

I actually think he was the best person for the current time. Of course I would love he was younger

Apparently US intelligence picked up in April 2021 that Russia was heading for the attack.

Biden did not waste time, his experience, familiarity with world leaders and negotiating skills helped get the west in order. Putin was convince that he did not have enough time and called a bluff.

Another thing is that Biden relies on experts.

I honestly would be more concerned with inexperienced person like Newsom during this time. He might eventually do fine, but the time to get up to speed might be long.

Giving up the incumbent advantage is the dumbest thing you could do.
