Washington Post columnist David Ignatius shook Washington, D.C., to the core this week with a column calling on President Biden to step down after one term. Ignatius led off with a long list of Joe Biden’s accomplishments, including governing “from the center out.”  

“But I don’t think Biden and Vice President Harris should run for reelection,” Ignatius continues. “It’s painful to say that, given my admiration for much of what they have accomplished. But if he and Harris campaign together in 2024, I think Biden risks undoing his greatest achievement – which was stopping Trump.”

Counterpoint: Biden has announced several times over he is running for re-election. Even Ignatius’ column will not make him reconsider.
