I disagree. His legacy is strong and he will be viewed very favorably.
By whom? My politically minded friends of all alignments seem to all dislike him. Most vocalky the more liberal voices. Its frankly a bit weird.
I mean we could just swap anecdotes but everyone I know deeply respects and loves Joe while realizing he was too old to continue.
He was dropping out no matter what, and Kamala losing is objectively worse for his legacy than Kamala winning. Anything he could do to help her is good for his legacy, and he took a ton of bullets for her the past few months in order to give her the best shot at beating Trump.
Genuinely wondering, what kinds of bullets are you referring to?
Getting through the RNC fanfare and letting all the attacks fall on him. Now that it's over, Kamala doesn't have to take as much heat.
