The only reason this is a good idea is because it MIGHT piss Trump off enough to make him want to hold another election to prove he could beat the cool black guy in a popularity contest. But based on the state of the motherfucker's visibly declining health there's an exceedingly slim chance he's even alive by then. Now would Obama wipe the floor with JD Vance in a fair election? Not a doubt in my mind he's the most charismatic politician of my lifetime and Vance is unlikeable and creepy. But those election will not be free and fair, part of the reason they are moving as fast as they are now is because they know they need to consolidate as much as possible before Trump croaks and the gravy train dries up.
Trigger Warning - Sexism

It wouldn't be a fair election because Trump has never beaten a man /s
