Trump vs. Biden, the sequel, is a battle of two older men with big liabilities

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, November 7, 2023

Both candidates have flaws but so far have batted away all contenders from within their own parties.

Key Points: 
  • Both candidates have flaws but so far have batted away all contenders from within their own parties.
  • Biden, who turns 81 in a few days, has the majority of both Democrats and Republicans believing he’s too old for a second term.
  • Unless Biden withdraws, he can be assured of the Democratic nomination, notwithstanding the unenthusiastic support from many in his party.

Four indictments? No problem

  • If Trump is the Republican nominee, former vice-president Mike Pence won’t return as his running mate.
  • There has been no love lost between the two men since the turbulent end of Trump’s presidency.
  • Trump will have the opportunity to select someone new, making the Republican ticket in 2024 different from that in 2016 and 2020.

What to watch for

  • The most recent was in the 1950s, when Dwight D. Eisenhower faced Adlai Stevenson in two consecutive elections.
  • Democrat Grover Cleveland stands alone in American history as the only president to serve non-consecutive terms — the exclusive club that Trump hopes to join.
  • Just like Trump, Cleveland served one term and was defeated by Benjamin Harrison, but returned to power by soundly defeating Harrison four years later.
  • He will likely rely on others — Harris and other Democratic party politicians — for the hard slogging.

Looking back at Nixon vs. Kennedy

  • Richard Nixon came to the debate with a lack of makeup, a five o’clock shadow, grey suit and directed his comments at the studio audience rather than the TV camera.
  • In contrast, John F. Kennedy was tanned, blue suited and spoke directly to the camera.
  • Those who watched the debate on television declared Kennedy the winner, while those who listened on the radio concluded that Nixon’s performance was superior.
