You are right - they are leftists - socialists and commies.
They want big government to control our lives. They all think they are smarter than the dolts (all of us) on whom they look down.
The only reason they are reporting on this is due to the fact that they are afraid Biden will want to run for re-election - this is their way of setting the table for someone to take his place, probably before the election.
The mainstream media (what a misnomer) is simply the outlet for the leftist government propaganda.
