This would be giving Biden absolute power. It’s difficult to predict what any specific person would do in those circumstances.
There’s a lot of evidence that Biden hasn’t abused power when he’s received it in the past, but imagine he’s given absolute power, and then Trump wins the election. And then Trump threatens Biden and his entire family.
I don’t know what Biden would do in that situation, but I know what I’d do.
I know what I hope Biden would do and what I would do. But I doubt he would do it.
Repubs have been wallowing in the mud for decades now. Dems are still trying to compromise and fantasize that they can work together. Biden would be urging the House to pass a “President is not immune” bill up until the Afternoon of the Long Knives on Jan. 20th, 2025.
Since Trump’s criminal trials are already ongoing, politically, he needs to use this appeal to avoid convictions now, though. Many polls have said that a lot of people wouldn’t vote for him if he’s convicted. I suspect some percentage of those people were telling the truth.
He’s stalling the cases to use a much more conventional political vehicle for getting himself off the hook - presidential pardons. The immunity claim is a hail-mary stall tactic and Trump’s team knows that it’s bogus, but they also know he doesn’t need absolute immunity if he can just survive until November.
They know Biden won’t do that.

I thought they were stalling the cases with the hope that he would get elected. THEN the absolute power will start.
