2020 Presidential Debates: Trump vs. Biden

President Trump and President Biden both made optimistic and skeptical predictions about COVID-19 vaccines in the 2020 debates, with Biden doubting Trump's claims, yet both administrations contributed significantly to vaccine development and distribution. Despite concerns about President Biden's age, a letter to the editor highlights his virtues, experience, and emotional maturity as essential qualities for leadership. Criticism of President Biden's views on democracy contrasts naive conceptions with the realities of public choice theory, emphasizing the limitations of collective decision-making. As the 2024 election approaches, historical trends suggest an incumbency advantage, but President Biden's approval ratings indicate a challenging path to reelection. Globally, recent democratic shifts in India, the European Union, and South Africa signal discontent and potential power shifts among voters, reflecting a broader trend of political change worldwide.
