I agree, neither Biden nor Trump will be taken down by the past scandals because if that were the case they would have been in Court by now.
I remember watching the news where they showed people meeting at a Trump rally somewhere in the US, the interviewer asked various attendees questions. When he asked a woman if Trump was suitable to be President because of the sexual misconduct allegations against him, she replied "I didn't vote for Trump to be my pastor, I voted for him to be President". She went further where she said she did not care about his past and just wanted the best person suited to the role of President in the job.
It is all happening in the political sphere in the US.....
Is that because one cancels out the other or because people are just disinterested in the backgrounds of those vying for power?
I wouldn't say that you can just just cancel out one scandal with another, though that is what voters are most likely going to die. We're just going to end up saying something along the lines of:
Well they're both rapists, so pick the one you like the most"But to your point, people are VERY interested in the backgrounds of those vying for power. Though Biden has been in the public light for like the past 40 years. Trump has been in the public light as well -- not as a politician, but as a celebrity -- both have scandals that they're getting hit with and they will continue getting hit with scandals.
Scandals are a VERY NORMAL part of politics though, so it shouldn't be surprising to have this sorta shit happen. That's an issue though, because if we're all so conditioned to be used to the 24/7 BREAKING NEWS then we're all going to ignore scandals and such.
To answer the question though: Biden and Trump will not be taken down by their past scandals IMO.
