Bang on description. Biden will be up against it trying to reclaim any sense of decency to the office of US president after the damage Trump's caused and is leaving behind.
That Biden will have to continue fighting pro-authoritarian, anti-democracy politicians like Cruz, Hawley, Gaetz, Jordan and so many other insurrectionist Republicans means the challenges to right the office will continue. I've never been a fan of Biden, but I'm an anti-authoritarian who believes in democracy so wish him good luck.

Too early to say anything about Biden's future at all.
People just cannot be absolutely sure how long he will be fit enough (both physically and mentally) to call the shots by himself..

I'd be curious to know why PTownsend has "never been a fan of Biden." Because he is corrupt? (He is.) Because he isn't "radical" enough? (We'll see.) Trump is no "authoritarian." And Ted Cruz, a brilliant legal mind, is no "insurrectionist." This is simply regurgitated propaganda. For four years Donald Trump was relentlessly attacked. Celebrities and politicians openly wished his demise. He was treated far worse than Biden has been by his opponents. Vice-president-elect Harris supported real insurrection. Nancy Pelosi shrugged.

The news last night reported that a Senator's son asking for a pardon was quoted a price of 2 million dollars. Glad to see the swamp will soon be drained.

18 hours, 55 minutes to go. Keep dummy away from the nuclear codes until then.
