It has been obvious to the vast majority of the public, and more recently even to most Democrats, that President Joe Biden is incapable of leading the country. But it is not as though Democrats don’t have much better candidates to replace him. This was painfully clear in the contrast between the way Biden treated the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump and the way it was handled by Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.

Biden and Shapiro took time, as was right, to honor Corey Comperatore, who, in Biden’s words, “was a husband, a father, a volunteer firefighter, and a hero.” Comperatore was killed while sheltering his family from bullets fired by the shooter trying to kill Trump.
