    Ok, I understand Bush and Clinton, but is Biden really a dynasty?

    I mean I can similarly say that Harris-Trump is the first race since 1972 without Bush, Clinton, Biden, Reagan and Carter.

      yeah its like bush and clinton cover up to 2016 and biden is only because of the last two elections. honestly clinton is just because hilary has run. bush is the only really one where offices were held at two different times

      I don’t think it speaks for the US being run by dynasties, but rather that the top of the political landscape is not extremely dynamic. I think name recognition is a huge deal in the US, which would also help explain Reagan and Trump.
