Michael Barone in dailyherald:
Are America's 45th and 46th presidents politically invulnerable? That's a conclusion you might come to from the response to the indictment of Donald Trump on June 8 and the guilty plea by Joe Biden's son Hunter announced on June 20.
Extrapolating from those numbers, assuming a uniform swing in each state and accounting for the changes in electoral vote numbers from the 2020 census, that looks like Trump winning 328 electoral votes and Biden only 210 -- the lowest number for a Democrat since 1988, when Ronald Reagan was president.
by signing up you agree to our terms of service They are happy to dismiss the Hunter Biden indictment as irrelevant, and are apparently untroubled, to the extent they give it any thought, by his $50,000-a-month contract with the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma when his father was vice president. Most old-line media and cable news outlets are uninterested in exploring these stories as well.
But after Bret Baier's appropriately tough interview on Fox News, it's impossible to argue that Trump didn't violate the law, after repeated opportunities to obey, and for no particularly good reason. There's an argument that Biden should have stopped this prosecution on process grounds, that the unprecedented prosecution of an opposition candidate and former president would poison the political process.
