    Honestly even with Biden losing a bunch of voters due to his stance on Israel, I’m not sure tossing away the incumbency advantage is a good move.

      He doesn’t have an incumbency advantage. He very narrowly beat Trump in 2020 and has dropped in polling ever since. If anything, had the Dems run someone different, they could have done a big show of the graceful transition of power as a reminder of January 6th. Hindsight’s also 20/20, but it would’ve allowed Dems to have their cake and eat it to on Israel, since I don’t know if Palestine will last to November at the current rate.

        I’m not sure we have the same understanding of “incumbency advantage”.
