At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Biden pardoned him, not because it would make any sense at all, but because we live in bizarro-world now and that makes sense there.
IMO the best case scenario is trump goes to jail and Biden announces he’s not running for re-election. Biden not running being symbolic to show it wasn’t about winning the election, it was about upholding the rule of law. I know that won’t happen because Biden is too proud of himself to do that, but that simple gesture would do a lot to heal this country.
While I’d like that too, considered in and of itself, the lack of an obvious Democratic front-runner in Biden’s absence means I’d worry that would just be ceding the presidency to DeSantis.
I think the happy middle ground would be Biden rerunning with AOC as his vp. Kamala Harris isn’t popular, and that combined wihh Biden not being too popular is a recipe for trouble, that might be somewhat mitigated by having AOC drum up some support. However, I doubt DeSantis has a chance in hell of even getting a modicum of republican support, so I’m not that worried about him.

trump also hates Desantis, and so do much trumpets. If trump does not run Biden is sure to get reelected.
