Great piece, and your article from July was indeed prescient! Random question, but in his prime, would you say that Biden was more a cowboy or nerd? He kind of defies easy categorization.

Biden was definitely a cowboy ... even into 2019 and 2020. I think that's why he won the 2020 election. Only a cowboy could defeat Trump. Biden had the ability to buck the orthodoxy of the Democratic Party effectively in 2020 to seem like a moderate option against Trump. Considering how narrowly Biden won in 2020, I do not know which other Democratic primary candidates would have beaten Trump. Biden was very unique among the bunch.
