He’s back: Biden returns to the campaign conversation
Semafor ^ | May 5, 2026 | David Weigel

Somehow — before his party finished reckoning with his legacy — Joe Biden returned.

The former president waded into two Democratic primaries last week to endorse candidates who’d worked for his administration: Keisha Lance Bottoms in the Georgia gubernatorial race, and Dan Koh, who’s seeking an open House seat in Massachusetts.

And in California’s gubernatorial battle, Biden’s former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra has picked up endorsements and momentum ever since disgraced ex-Rep. Eric Swalwell bowed out. He hasn’t gotten formal backing, but Becerra is running openly on his record in Biden’s administration.

The beginnings of Biden nostalgia in Democratic primaries show how cleanly the party is hoping to pivot this year’s midterms to President Donald Trump’s economic record, effectively recasting its 2024 defeat as an “affordability” battle that now can be won. Democrats have ignored Trump’s frequent insults of his predecessor, pegging it as a distraction from the president’s own unpopularity with swing voters.

Just the headline alone may indicate this is one of the most ludicrous opinion pieces of 2026. Or any year. "Biden Nostalgia"?

He must have waded into the shallow end.

Living in Georgia we know Lance-Bottoms has no deep end. During the riots for the guy police shot in the Wendy’s parking lot, Bottoms threw cops under the bus, allowed a gang to control traffic around the Wendy’s until gang members shot and killed a child in a car. She was so far in over her head swimming down brought her closer to the surface.

“affordability”

Biden was the filthy scumbag that caused the massive increase in food prices and energy to begin with. His $10 trillion Build Back Better program to pay for the 20 million third world illegal alien savages, rapist, murderers into the USA causing a massive housing shortage.

And now those Rat cretins talk about how they can bring “affordability” to the American household. What a laugh. /spit

Perhaps Biden is contemplating running for President again in 2028. If he does, he’d probably still manage to do better than Kamala, who in all seriousness is planning another run (I hope she wins the Democratic primaries - she’ll lose by a bigger landslide the second time around against any Republican).

These DIM losers are like a cockroach infestation that you just can’t get rid of.

Why aren’t they all in prison or deported?
