Why would I not?

The homicide rate has fallen in each of the last two years - almost 18% overall:

Biden has created more manufacturing jobs, the total number of which actually fell under Trump. The trade deficit that Trump promised to reduce actually increased more during his administration than under Biden. And contrary to Harris' anti-corporate messaging, corporate profits have risen twice as fast under Biden than under Trump; at least partially explaining the inflation that we have experienced. NATO is bigger and stronger now than ever before.

Illegal immigration does not concern me because given (a) our falling birthrate and (b) an unemployment rate of only about 4%, notwithstanding a sizeable increase in the number of immigrants, it would seem that we need the workers. With regard to the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, not everything that happens under a President's administration is within his control. If to the contrary a President is to be held accountable for everything that happens to have occurred on his watch, that would have to include January 6th.

In sum, although by no means perfect, things haven't gone so bad under Biden that I would prefer an incessantly lying, sexually assaulting, convicted felon who is the only President who failed to peacefully transfer power in our nation's proud history, over Harris/Walz.
