Biden has been relatively quiet over the last few months. Aside from the usual criticism of the incumbent government, Biden has not made many waves in the way of vocalising his views.
Apart from the DNC, which was planned and mostly pre-recorded so had little in the way of surprises, Biden has not made too many public appearances to advocate for his own policies.
He has made no real media appearance where his campaign allows for any questions from reporters, resulting in a lot of criticism from the media, the opposition, and most importantly, the electorate.
As scarcely anything is known about Biden’s key policies, only that he is very vocal in opposing Trump’s, the citizens know very little about who the alternate vote to Mr Trump is come November.
As the President prides himself on being honest and open with his own opinions, even being mentioned so in the First Lady’s speech at the RNC, it makes Biden even more susceptible to the criticism about not being willing to go head to head with the President in a debate.
With the first debate scheduled for September 30th, it stands to reason that Biden must be pretty afraid of being a failure if he is not willing to stand before Trump on a national stage.
Going on the dis-popularity of Trump and his handling of Covid-19 and the BLM movement that has swept the nation, it should be hard for Biden to out-manoeuvre the President in a debate.
Trump’s rhetoric spinning Biden as incompetent and mentally-unfit to be President only amplifies these questions of Biden’s silence at this time.
If the election is really ‘Biden’s to lose’, he shouldn’t be afraid of going head-to-head with President Trump.
