On Jan. 6, 2024, President Joe Biden intends to address the nation in a campaign kickoff. He will make his focus the "threat to democracy" that is former President Donald Trump. Less than ten days before the Iowa Caucuses, his speech should be seen for what it is: an endorsement of Trump as his Republican opponent.

Each time the Democrats have taken on Trump, through vilification, speech, and indictment, they have provoked Republicans to circle the wagons around him, driving up his polling. In fact, New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg has done more than anyone to undermine the DeSantis campaign and elevate Trump. The moment Bragg indicted Trump, Trump soared into the polling lead, leaving everyone else in the dust, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who had been leading.

In 2022, Democrats were open and bragging about their strategy. In multiple states, Democrats poured money into Republican primaries to elevate Republican candidates tied to Trump, who the Democrats thought were the most vulnerable. The Democrats' strategy worked.
