Translation: if they wanted to shoot it down they would have. The DOD has likely known about this thing for days or weeks, its just that the public noticed this one. I guarantee this is not the first one China has sent in recent years, and were doing the same to them.

tbh, they've gone on the record for claiming any number of reasons for not wanting to shoot the balloon down. But honestly, it just boils down to Beijing Biden being soft on China again.

Lol that's honestly pretty funny.

Can we make this a campaign issue for 2024?

I mean, having a spy balloon publicly flaunt your sovereignty is a pretty big fucking issue and the current inaction is setting a pretty lousy precedent for how these things will be handled (although, considering Biden has been a pretty lousy president, it's not terribly surprising -- I often suspect he was never really interested in the job and only came back because his party convinced him he was the only way they'd win the White House at the time, which was probably the case)
