The Biden Era

Marc Ambinder wonders about the future — who will replace Joe Biden? “What about Delaware? Beau Biden?” I think you’d have to guess that Beau will be tapped. He’s Attorney-General of Delaware, and Delaware’s lone House member is a Republican. So completely apart from being Joe Biden’s son, he’d be the logical choice. And then, of course, the iron triangle can be closed by elevating Hunter Biden from the Amtrak board to the top passenger rail job. Then voters who thought they were getting the Age of Obama will recognize that we’re in fact facing the Era of Biden.
