Biden lets Trump be Trump

(The Hill)

Donald Trump is doing everything he can to lose the presidential campaign and Joe Biden is letting him do it. The challenger’s campaign is giving the incumbent enough room to let Trump be Trump, which spells big trouble for the president and the Republican Party.
...
Election Day is still four months away, but Donald Trump is in a deeper hole than he was when he came from behind to beat Hillary Clinton in 2016. The worst part for the GOP is that Trump keeps digging. 

...Biden is running a restrained and effective campaign for president that reflects the strange nature of the times. The former vice president has made good use of his time on the sideline. Campaign 2020 is a referendum on Donald Trump’s mishandling of the coronavirus crisis and Biden’s low-profile campaign has given Donald Trump just enough rope to hang himself.
...
Biden’s approach has left the spotlight where it should be; on the commander in chief’s negligent mishandling of the war against the pandemic and the economic carnage that has trailed in its wake.
