That's the real question though.
Campaigning could make or break this election. Being able to win an election and being able to do the job of president are two different things, and it doesn't matter if you can do the second one if you can't do the the first.
I have serious doubts that Biden can win at this point. Any more senior moments like the debate last week, and I think he is toast.
