Joseph HillstromSo holding incumbent politicians accountable for their performance is undermining the Party?
If you can't win a #primary that is already slanted to favor #incumbency, then you have no business representing the #DemocraticParty in the general. #Vote #Progressive

A rare event in Alabama suggests Trump’s MAGA movement can overpower incumbency effects
A new study has found that in Alabama’s rare incumbent-versus-incumbent GOP primary, alignment with Trump’s MAGA movement outweighed traditional incumbency advantages, leading to a narrow win for the more MAGA-aligned candidate.

This is speculative, but I think Biden has a specific unstated reason for running again, all his stated reasons aside.
And it's not something I've heard anyone mention, at least, not while connecting all the dots.
