WASHINGTON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - US President Donald Trump has invoked Joe Biden's name almost 900 times this year, a Reuters review shows, keeping his predecessor at the center of debate as Republicans fight to hold their fragile grip on Congress in November's midterm elections.Trump has made Biden, a Democrat, his political target on average three times a day across speeches, comments and Truth Social postings, blaming him for problems ranging from inflation and immigration to munitions shortages, even as the former president, 83 and battling Stage 4 cancer, has largely withdrawn from public life.
The tactic reflects Trump's effort to keep Americans focused on the perceived failures of the previous administration rather than on voters' concerns about his own presidency with just six weeks left until the November 3 midterm elections.

It's almost like Democrats don't remember 2020-2024, when they spent 4 years lying and trying to cover up the ramblings of a man clearly suffering from dementia while lying about reality. The border is secure etc etc..
And once a democrat is elected POTUS in 2028, I can't wait to see republicans ignore him/her.
