    Yeah no one would commit political suicide to run against the incumbent unless they had been obviously out of it as Biden appears to be going. So yes it was a DNC decision as they would go after those who tried to run.

    And even with it being an uncontested primary the administration still attacked those doing protest votes in it over their handling of Palestinians.

      Yeah, that’s how it works. You have to BEAT the incumbent. That’s literally what primaries are for. No one beat him, and the ones who tried failed.
