Deep dives
Biden's Political Resilience and Rebound
Despite a rocky start post-debate, Biden experienced a surge in betting markets, with chances of being the nominee rising above 60%. Anonymously, Democrats expressed doubts about his competency, but public endorsements and support from Democratic leaders like Bernie Sanders and Tim Kaine suggest a divided stance. The longer the support remains, the higher the probability of Biden becoming the nominee, especially in the absence of widespread public calls for him to step down.
