    There were primaries for the democratic party, but typically the parties back their incumbent and nominate them. I don’t actually remember or know of a time where a sitting president had a meaningful primary challenger.

    Tbh, people want to hate on Biden for whatever reason but he’s done so much to actually move the needle–and with the cluster fuck he was handed plus a completely divided Congress.

    He’s been exactly what we needed as a country and I will happily vote for him in November and not just because the alternative is racism…but because he’s actually doing great things and I’d love to see him with a democratic Congress to back him.
