For weeks, the COVID-19 pandemic has been the nation's primary focus and has pushed the presidential campaign out of the main spotlight. Even so, news of Joe Biden earning the endorsements of Sen. Bernie Sanders and former President Barack Obama was treated as a major boost to Biden's campaign by the media. But despite the star power of those endorsements, Biden's bid for the White House, now unencumbered by like-minded rivals, looks like nothing but a desperate, mundane display.

The man selected to challenge the Left's ultimate political foe, President Trump, is the least charismatic, coherent, and revolutionary choice they could have made. For the second election cycle in a row, Sen. Bernie Sanders was the runner-up to the presumptive nominee. Even though some Democrats want a more liberal party, ultimately, the safest choice won. And in the end, this speaks volumes about the Democratic Party's disarray.

If there's one thing that stands out about Biden, it's the lackluster nature of both his personality and his campaign.

The primaries ended up being his saving grace, but not because he is a particularly memorable individual. It's clear to everyone, except maybe the former vice president himself, that even though he is barely sufficient, he is in this position because of name recognition, connections, and a bit of luck. Unlike his Republican opponent, Biden does not enjoy an unparalleled measure of exuberant support. This can be seen in not only how the primaries concluded but in the endorsements from both Sanders and Obama. These well-known politicians finally succumbed to party pressure and voiced their support, but their messages suggest duty more so than desire.

The media, dominated by left-leaning individuals, will work hard to make Biden appear like the candidate that has been wanted all along. In comparison to his incumbent opponent, Biden will be made to look like a feisty, alert leader who can carry his own against the president. When it comes to sexual assault allegations or anything similarly untoward, it will be treated as either nonexistent or inconsequential, no matter what. There is no measure of consistency practiced by the president's breathless critics who would automatically apply guilt if the tables were turned.

On paper, Biden looks like the perfect candidate to take on the 45th president. This doesn't translate well to real life, but now that Biden has been given the blessing by Democratic darling Obama, the media will make what they want into reality.

Charisma, boldness, and coherency matter in politics. When it comes to this year's presidential election, Biden possesses none of those characteristics to a powerful degree. And in a contest against the most unexpected political force of all time, one who still surprises the audience, those qualities are necessary.

The former vice president may have beaten his fellow candidates, but his mandate is not a convincing one. The Democrats are stuck with an elderly, uninspiring, and bumbling option. Despite appearances that suggest the contrary, they know this. And the media, which will apologize for and prop Biden up at every turn, understand this, too.
