I don't think that the Democrats will be unduly worried about Trump 2024.
It will paralyse and/or cause mayhem in the GOP. Trump's (and the GOP's) demograph is shrinking and will have declined more so by 2024. It is essentially white non-latino (apart from parts of Florida and Texas) and ageing. Assuming Trump is still around, it will inhibit the ability of the GOP to connect with other demographs.
The Democrats have the advantage in any state which is growing economically. We have seen what happened to Virginia, New Mexico and Colerado. Arizona appears to be following the same path while Georgia and perhaps North Carolina may not be far behind. Maybe Texas as well although 2028 will be a safer bet there?

I think those capable of thinking amongst the Democrats would welcome Trump forming his own party and peeling off Republican voters Farage-like.

On the contrary, that *is* the canonical method of quoting on the internet - and in almost all written media. An etiquette sadly dying on the Web. I was referring to this practice: (1). There is no need to insert a reference into a one paragraph statement. Is two paragraphs or expand the original one. To do otherwise looks sloppy. I knew I'd seen this style before:  |

Seems significant.

I read that it was a record but didnt read any numbers..
It may be that Biden's strategy is to get busy and get as much as possible done in the 1st 2 years in the likelihood that he wont have a trifecta after 2022..?

ISTR Michael Moore writing about how Bush had signed a load of executive orders overturning Clinton ones to the outrage of the left without many realising that most of the Clinton orders were signed at the last minute as gestures and Bush had changed nothing before ranting that if Clinton had done these orders earlier in office it would have made a difference.

It’s a very misleading statistic as it only compares one week of an Administration; most of Biden’s EO’s have been rescinding four years of Trump EO’s, for example rejoining the World Health Organisation is a fairly new thing as it’s only ~6 months ago that Trump withdrew. Add to that none of the other Presidents inherited a pandemic upon entering office that required immediate action. There’s also been nothing that’s taken Washington by surprise, everything non-pandemic was a pledge in Biden’s election platform and stump speeches. |

A bit like Gordon Brown waiting nearly 13 years to bring in the top income tax rate of 50%? |

You mean that his campaign managers knew all along that he had lost? Can't overstate how shocked I am at that news  |
