Not everyone bought that argument: Some argued that Trump would easily caricature Biden and make him less popular with voters. Even FiveThirtyEight was skeptical of Biden’s electability argument. Sure, Biden was well-known and perceived as moderate, not to mention experienced. But it was hard to evaluate the accuracy of…
