Joe Biden Prepares His Next Basement Campaign

His campaign could be barely evident, and still succeed.

Joe Biden is going to run for reelection.

One question this raises: How is anyone going to tell?

The basement presidency is about to embark on another basement campaign.

President Biden and the people around him are, in effect, conducting a large-scale, ongoing political-science experiment: Is it possible to run a left-wing government — with tactics often frankly at odds with our constitutional system — and avoid a massive backlash by having a president at the top who appears ineffectual and out of touch?
