President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have both accepted an invitation from CNN to debate on June 27, a historically early showdown that will set the tone for the final months of the 2024 campaign.
I understand the sentiment, but it’s not really Biden’s job to do that. The justice system has utterly failed us, but having the president decide who is and isn’t an insurrectionist probably isn’t a great idea.
It is his job to promote himself as a candidate and point out his opponents flaws, like being an insurrectionist who can’t stay awake at his own criminal trials.

If the justice system has failed and the insurrectionist is on the verge of winning, the risk is not making some sort of change.
