I think a lot of Americans do see it as disqualifying. And they're worried about it.
Sadly, you know, I think for a variety of reasons he should not. I just, I don't think either Trump or Biden should be running.

The midterms really helped him. They transformed the race, best midterm elections for any president in 20 years.
