Not only just to trap Trump, but also to coalesce everyone behind a successor candidate. Because the only thing worse than Biden staying in the race would have been him dropping out and then a dozen Democrat candidates popping up, vying for the nomination, barely 5 months before the election. Further infighting would have handed the election to the weirdos.
I think this could be a consideration. I also like how it’s a taste of what a short election cycle could look like.
All the other democracies have weeks or possible months to campaign. We have 2+ fucking years of this garbage. It’s exhausting and a total waste of time, money, and governing opportunity.
