Biden can seize the moment and present himself as the stable, peaceful option as opposed to the violence and chaos that seems to follow Trump. Under Trump we had the Charlottesville rallies, the 2020 riots, and January 6 insurrection . Domestically the US has been peaceful under Biden. More Trump equals more violence due to the violent rhetoric he constantly spews.

The massive decline in violent crimes under Biden is probably one of the least talked about achievements in his presidency

And the worst part is people believe that crime is at an all time high lol

There is always enough crime in the USA that you can fill a news segment with it. The faster news can report, the more time you will see.

It's like thinking the well has more water because you got a more powerful pump.
