It is fitting, somehow, that President Joe Biden gave his final pitch at a nearly-deserted train station near the White House, a once-thriving venue now gutted by crime and homelessness. It is telling that no candidates wanted to be seen anywhere near him, fearing his unpopularity would slop over onto them. It is fitting that the station was surrounded by a homeless camp, finally cleared only because Biden was coming. Most telling of all is the speech's content, which focused exclusively on threats to democracy.
