Why Biden won't stop talking about Trump after impeachment

Donald Trump’s acquittal in his second impeachment trial marks a new beginning for Joe Biden’s presidency, erasing a weeks-long shadow that has hung over the White House.

But while Biden may now have the chance to move past his predecessor, he won’t take it

Biden and his aides will continue to use Trump as a foil for the “foreseeable future” as they seek to contrast the two presidents’ policies to build support for the White House’s agenda, according to three people familiar with the situation.

Biden’s team learned a lesson from 2009, when President Barack Obama and Biden, then vice president, came to believe that they’d failed to defend their policies forcefully enough against criticisms from Republicans, including former Vice President Dick Cheney. Those criticisms, they believe, contributed to Democrats’ enormous losses in the 2010 midterm elections.

after the last four years. People will hardly notice.

Trump certainly never shut up about Obama or Hillary. Made his name politically on birtherism, in fact (or should I say fiction).
