@carnage4life It's almost entirely an anti-Biden (or rather, perceived anti-Biden economy) vote. This is now the second obvious case of a decent liberal, elderly person who aged into a "Only I can do it!" hubris mindset and didn't step aside in time. In the case of Biden, he promised to only run once as a "transitional" figure, but hubris got the best of him. The other obvious case was Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who refused to resign in a timely manner and inadvertently set the stage for the MAGA-takeover of the Supreme Court. Both well meaning people, who didn't know when to give up the car keys. And we're all paying for it.
