My column this weekend is the first of two parts on the collapse of the Democrats’ lawfare strategy. With President Biden’s announcement on Sunday that he is withdrawing from the 2024 race, it’s worth emphasizing that Democrats and their praetorian press have been well aware of Biden’s senescence since the start of his term. The Democrats’ 2024 strategy was to hide it, through lawfare. It was an adaptation of their 2020 campaign strategy: Capitalize on the pandemic by keeping the elderly and already declining Biden in his basement and make the election entirely about Trump.
Remember, lawfare was a coordinated, extensive strategy involving prosecutors who, starting in mid 2023, filed four elaborate criminal indictments, lodging a total of more than 90 felony charges. They immediately began pressuring judges to schedule trials that, they hoped, would start in March 2024 and run through the summer and even into the autumn — i.e., through the decisive stretch of the campaign.
