They told Trump to step away from the nomination after the Access Hollywood tape in October 2016. Said just give it to Pence, remember that?
You are missing my point. Biden will not win if the economy goes into recession in 2024. And it likely will. You are underestimating Trump, which is why Obama met Biden a couple weeks ago saying Trump is on a path to victory. The battleground states are a complete tossup. If the economy tanks, Trump will win. Now, if the economy is good, yeah Biden will eke it out.
