This 1000%. His speech impediment often makes people think he is slow but watch him when he shows emotion (either anger or sorrow) and he still connects. I actually think that Kamala Harris’ huge increase in her speaking rhetoric is due to help from him (see the Yennessee Three speech).

I’ve often thought of Biden as the modern LBJ, someone who’s been around long enough that he knows where all the levers are and which ones to pull to get the effects he wants. Which is why, unlike Obama in 2011, the GQP and their pet media hacks have struggled (based upon recent polls) to convince enough Americans that Biden is to blame for an impending debt default.
