A rematch between the president and his predecessor wouldn't simply be a rerun of 2020, but a referendum on both of their records — and a test of which one voters like less.

After insisting for months that they wouldn’t negotiate with Republicans over the debt ceiling, the White House is now negotiating. A lot is at stake.Biden began his tenure as a widely popular president, but unexpected events — a resurgence of COVID-19, a chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and rising inflation — have brought him down.

The president needed three tries to deliver a solid answer to the now-inescapable age question. His first response was denial: “I can’t even say the number,” he said last month. His second was a wisecrack: “I call it being seasoned.” If Biden and Trump are the nominees as expected, it’s tempting to call their matchup a rerun of 2020 — but it’s different in one important respect.

So the campaign is likely to be a double referendum: a battle over which candidate voters loathe more.
