    They needed him to run to stop a Bernie nomination. So… he kind of was “made to”, in that he also agreed that Bernie shouldn’t get the nomination.

      And I’m in agreement with Biden, I think. I love Bernie and think he would have made a great president, but with how close 2020 was for Biden, I doubt he would have won the election. In fact I think part of why Kamala’s doing well is for the same reason that Biden did well in 2020: Trump wanted to run against Bernie in 2020, and he wanted to run against Biden in 2024. Trump struggles when things don’t go the way he expects them to, and I remember in 2020 a lot of trump’s arguments were about how Biden was too far left, almost like he wanted to be making those arguments about Bernie instead

        Polls showed Bernie had the largest lead in a head to head against Trump in 2016 and 2020 iirc. He’s the most popular politician in the US.

        That’s boilerplate conservative talking points. He would’ve said that regardless of who he was running against.
