Joe Biden has run for president 3 times: 1988, 2008 and 2020. He has yet to win a single primary or caucus.

You guys at CNN had him leading the pack that’s why we don’t trust you guys anymore.

Ever considered how you feed into that narrative with remarks like this? Media needs to examine it’s own role in shaping the outcome of some of these races. Suggestion - wait to sound the alarm bell until after at least HALF of the people have had a chance to weigh in.

To be fair, he’s actually only been in 3 contests altogether: IA 2008, IA & NH 2020.

One of Joe’s opponents in 1988 was my friend, Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois (along with Gary Hart, Dick Gephardt, Mike Dukakis, and a few others). One big knock on Paul Simon was that he was too old to run for President. He was 58 years old! He’d be a youngster this year.
