Take that, Donald Trump!

Donald Trump was so afraid of having to face Joe Biden in the 2020 general election, he got himself impeached while trying to destroy Biden’s candidacy. If Trump couldn’t knock Biden out of the race, he was at least hoping to cause enough damage that Biden would limp into a contested convention.

As of tonight, it turns out Donald Trump got himself impeached for nothing. Joe Biden was won the state of Michigan, effectively putting Biden’s last remaining competitor, Bernie Sanders, out of contention. Not only will Biden be the nominee, he now has the advantage of the Democratic Party starting to rally around him four months before the party’s convention.

We don’t know what Bernie Sanders will do. But if he remains in the race, he’ll get blown out in Florida next week, and his candidacy will be all but forgotten. No matter how this plays out, Donald Trump’s big gambit against Joe Biden has blown up in his face.
