Ginsburg and Biden’s blind spot: when leaders don’t know when to leave
The article examines the consequences of leaders staying in power too long, citing Ruth Bader Ginsburg's refusal to retire from the Supreme Court before the 2016 election and Joe Biden's delayed withdrawal from his 2024 candidacy as examples. Both decisions are linked to outcomes that undermined their intended legacies, including the appointment of Justice Amy Coney Barrett and the erosion of Roe v. Wade protections.
