Republicans in 2024 are likely to once again face a Donald Trump problem — and Mike Pence just might be the solution.
On paper, 2024 is looking about as good as it is possible to look this early in the game from the perspective of a party that’s out of power and potentially tasked with unseating an incumbent who was elected with a national popular majority. Joe Biden is deeply unpopular and facing a barrage of political challenges. Unlike his two Democratic predecessors (Bill Clinton and Barack Obama), he is not young, not nimble, and not a living symbol of racial identity or progress. Biden will turn 82 in 2024, making him older than anyone ever to run for the job, and he is in visible decline; he may not even run again.
