Both the president and his reelection campaign are going after his coup-attempting predecessor even before the first GOP primary ballots are cast.

A full year out from the 2024 presidential election and nearly two months before Republicans cast their first primary ballots, President Joe Biden and his campaign are assuming that Donald Trump will be his opponent and have already started reminding voters why they threw him out of office in the first place.

Biden personally has stepped up criticism of his coup-attempting predecessor and is framing the likely rematch as one that will determine the survival of American democracy.

“The same man who said we should terminate the rules and regulations and articles of the Constitution — these are things he said — is now running on a plan to end democracy as we know it,” he said last week at a fundraiser in Chicago.

“This next election is different. It’s more important. There’s more at stake. And we all know why: Because our very democracy is at stake,” he told a San Francisco audience on Wednesday.

He may not die, but I think it's reasonable to think he will be deemed unfit to serve, or even step down voluntarily.

I would be shocked. Like I said, the medical care these people are getting is on another level entirely.

Our medical care isn't limitless, there is only so much we can actually do. Look at how Biden has been progressing even with the best care in the world, he clearly isn't in the best shape and it's only going to get worse. It's entirely possible he gets worse fast and for there to be nothing that can be done about it even with the best care we can give him.

I've seen him speak a whole bunch and he always comes off as fine to me. I haven't noticed any changes in the last 4 years.

He has had some pretty bad senior moments, the worst one I can recall is the "Hey Jackie" one. In general he does talk pretty slow and just appears confused sometimes. He talks like he is really having to think about what he is saying, and that's not just him, he didn't use to be like that.

Deemed unfit to serve requires an untested legal procedure that is going to definitely face challenges and will be unpopular. It would be better for them to pull a Wilson or Reagan.
