Joe Biden’s reelection effort latched onto a particular moment in last night’s Republican presidential primary debate — a point of internecine tension between the GOP field’s more prudential candidates and its reformers who see more political upsides in profligacy — in one of the most shameless ways imaginable.
“Where’s Joe Biden? He’s completely missing in action from leadership,” said Florida governor Ron DeSantis. “And you know who else is missing in action? Donald Trump is missing in action. He should be on this stage tonight. He owes it to you to defend his record where they added $7.8 trillion to the debt. That set the stage for the inflation we have now.”
