Schar School associate professor and elections expert Jeremy Mayer warned Democrats nearly a year ago in USA Today that their presumed candidate, Joe Biden, might be exposed in a debate as having diminished abilities from debates televised in 2020.
In an op-ed in late August 2023, Mayer recommended the party replace the incumbent with a challenger to avoid precisely the situation they find themselves now after last week’s debate with former President Donald Trump.
From the op-ed:
Bad debate could sink Biden before general election
Is it too late for Democrats to finally take his advice?
This week, Mayer offers a list of possible replacements in a new op-ed in USA Today. Read who he recommends here.
Meanwhile, the founding dean of the Schar School, Mark J. Rozell, takes the opposite position in a co-written op-ed in the Hill.
Read the op-ed: Sorry, James Carville, but Joe Biden is the best bet to beat Trump.
Must make for interesting faculty meetings.
