The coverage of the “dueling midterm speeches” of President Trump and former President Barack Obama made me wonder about another former president who, as far as I can tell, has not done any rally or appearance for any Democratic candidate this autumn: former President Joe Biden.

On September 11, Joe and Jill Biden attended the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero alongside the other living former presidents and Vice President Vance.
