In the opinion article, author Michael Cohen predicted that “Trump is likely to remain the gift that keeps on giving for Democrats — the living, breathing bogeyman under the bed who keeps their voters up at night.”
“As much as Democrats may want to run on their legislative agenda, the spectre of Trump could be their most effective strategy for maintaining power and is probably Biden’s best hope for re-election,” he wrote.
Cohen noted that recent polling shows Biden is “deeply unpopular,” citing recent losses for Democrats in Virginia and New Jersey, places where Biden easily beat Trump last year.

“In short, this White House has not had a good story to tell for months and in Virginia and New Jersey they paid the price,” Cohen added.
Trump has publicly toyed with the idea of another White House run for months. Meanwhile, Biden’s approval rating hit a new low of just 38 percent in a poll conducted last week.
