“Michael Cohen, the ex-lawyer of former President Trump, wrote on Sunday that President Biden’s best hope for reelection could be the former president himself. In an opinion article for The Guardian, Cohen predicted that ‘Trump is likely to remain the gift that keeps on giving for Democrats — the living, breathing bogeyman under the bed who keeps their voters up at night.’ ‘As much as Democrats may want to run on their legislative agenda, the spectre of Trump could be their most effective strategy for maintaining power and is probably Biden’s best hope for re-election,’ he wrote” is the first few paragraphs of The Hill’s Sunday night article titled Cohen says Trump is likely ‘Biden’s best hope for re-election’.

A timeout on their account should be added, further failures of this nature should make it permanent.
