    The mistake was running a geriatric against Trump back in 2020. It was a losing move for Biden to stay in the race as long as he did, it would have been just as much of a losing move to hold a primary before he left the race, and there wasn’t enough time to hold a primary once he did step back. If the president hadn’t been 81 years old and was in a stable mental state they wouldn’t have needed to leave the race, and Trump would most likely have lost. Fingers crossed whoever runs against the republicans next time (assuming there is a next time) learns from that mistake and platforms someone in their 50s instead.
