President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he’s accepted an invitation from CNN to debate former President Donald Trump on June 27 – challenging the former president to a showdown months earlier than the traditional fall face-offs.
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.
