According to current polls, the election will be close in November. It may not turn out that way, but that’s what we believe today.
What could be President Trump’s winning card? The answer is V.P. Mike Pence, who has looked very presidential lately.
Twenty twenty may be the first time voters look very closely at #2. They may vote based on which #2 is more qualified to be #1.
Both President Trump (74) and former VP Biden (78) would be older next January than what we’ve usually seen in the presidency. President Reagan turned 78 weeks after leaving office. We think of President Eisenhower as a grandfather figure, but he was 70 when he left office.
Add to this the risk of coronavirus in older people, and don’t blame voters for looking at #2 as a potential president.
On that basis, V.P. Pence gets a good grade.
On the other hand, former V.P. Biden has a problem.
First, he committed to naming a woman. Some want him to pick a woman of color. One woman is running for the job on that basis.
Second, what woman on the short list has executive experience?
The governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham, does, but she runs a very small state. And the Democrats are likely to win New Mexico anyway! She would have been a good pre-COVID choice, but things are different now
