But There’s More to His Story Good morning from the Hive newsroom! Amid gloomy polls, Scott Turow [argued]( this week for 81-year-old Joe Biden to bow out of the 2024 race, while over at Inside the Hive, Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg [explained]( to Brian Stelter why he’s actually optimistic about the president’s chances. Meanwhile, the quadruply indicted, twice-impeached Donald Trump is vowing to be a “dictator” for a day if elected next year—a line that Molly Jong-Fast [sees]( as no joke. Elsewhere, Rachel Dodes [took]( a deep look into Bryan Johnson’s antiaging quest, as Charlotte Klein [checked in]( with student journalists at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania who have been all over the campus antisemitism scandal embroiling their university presidents.
