There isn’t any real connection in the documents classified discovered in the possession of Joe Biden at his former office and at his residence at Wilmington, Delaware, and documents taken away from Donald Trump. Trump had only one tiny portion of the documents found on the premises of Donald Trump however, what is more important is Biden’s completely different approach of the matter.
The Biden team realized the documents were not properly held and turned them over and also voluntarily let the FBI access to his house to look for more. However, President Trump was ordered to turn over all classified documents through the warrant issued by a grand jury regarding the possible illegal deletion and destruction White House documents. The lawyers for Mr Trump claimed that he did this.
After that, the justice department took months trying to solve the issue before being required to obtain an order for an investigation of Mar-a-Lago which turned up numerous classified documents.
But the document discovery kept by Joe Biden as well as the method of drip-drip of how they came to light embarrassing. Trump has been marketed on his integrity and his ability compared to the man who was before him and has questioned the carelessness of Mr Trump in the handling of classified information.
The difference between the two instances could be overlooked by many voters, particularly considering the media’s right-wing expertise in the field of whataboutery. Senior Democrats are irritated enough to be extremely hostile of Biden.
Both current & former US Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump are being investigated for allegedly mishandling classified government documents. Searches at Biden's home Friday turned up additional papers. It's proving to be an embarrassment for the President. My report on #F24 pic.twitter.com/JvYSQAwhNk

Both of these cases could be a reflection in some way that the US administration’s “overclassification dependence”. It categorizes around 50 million documents every year. It’s a good opportunity to evaluate its processes, however the chances of getting a reasonable account are unlikely in the politics of controversy. However, the process of prosecuting Trump will be a challenge. Trump will be legally as well as politically challenging.
This incident is perhaps Biden’s biggest mistake since the (far more important) decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. However, the challenges he confronts are more a sign of the future as they are a result of his mistake.
Despite Democrats surprising strength in the midterms reality of a polarized congress is getting more clearly into the public’s eye. The Republicans have long proclaimed they intend to harass Mr. Biden through investigations, with his son Hunter is the most obvious and most easy target. Many of the most conspiracist Republicans currently sit in the committee that oversees oversight.
In the meantime, the fight regarding the debt ceiling marks the beginning of a new period of political brinkmanship. It is a familiar battle that is a regular occurrence for Democratic presidents, yet it is likely to be more bloody than before, because of the present Republican caucus. To the state’s ideological zeal (easily overpowered when President Trump attempted to increase the debt limit) as well as the persistent determination to undermine an Democratic administration, there is coupled with the sheer confusion the unpredictability, nihilism and incoherence that is”the “freedom caucus”.
This could, however, be a rebound for Republicans and make Democrats appear more responsible and more likely to safeguard their interests as voters. Trump has already warned Republicans to stay away from social security and Medicare. Trump previously advised Republicans not to alter Medicare or social security.
The current assumption is that Biden is the most likely candidate for 2024, though in part due to the fact that there’s no alternative that is credible as of yet, and it is believed that Trump even though he is damaged, will likely be the Republican option. However, his accomplishments will be to be seen within two years and neither he, or his party is able to afford to make mistakes that aren’t worth it.
