fascinating seeing Joe (or Jill) dig his heels in. How long can he realistically hang on before the pressure is too much ??

Who will replace Biden as the new Democratic nominee?

There are several options being floated among Democrats to replace Joe Biden at the top of the ticket.
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

Of these choices Mayor Pete would be my first choice. 42 years old. Very intelligent. Very well spoken. His gayness might make him lose though. I would still go with him anyway.
The former mayor of South Bend, Ind., Buttigieg, 42, was the breakout star of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary contest; he even won the Iowa caucuses. Some of his rise stemmed from his pioneering identity: If nominated, Buttigieg might have become the first openly gay president in U.S. history. But the bigger factor was his ability to craft and articulate a clear, concise, consistent message. As Biden’s transportation secretary, Buttigieg has honed his rhetorical skills while gaining valuable government experience.

My second choice would be Newsome. 56 years old. Looks the part. Charasmatic. Well spoken. His ties to california would probably hurt him too much (people hate california). I dont think he should be the choice despite the fact that I like him ok.
Newsom, 56, is the telegenic, smooth-talking governor of the most populous state in the country. In recent years, he has also fashioned himself as a national figure — the leading mouthpiece for anti-Trump, anti-MAGA liberals at a moment when, in his opinion, much of the rest of the Democratic Party has been falling short. He has debated Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, his GOP counterpart; he has raised money for red-state Dems; he has appeared on Fox News. If the key to beating Trump is winning the attention war, then Newsom is a step ahead of his fellow White House hopefuls.

My third choice would probably be whitmer. 52 years old. Im ready to see what a woman president could do. She has been very successful politically
She’s in charge of Michigan, perhaps the most important swing state. In the 2022 midterms — typically a tough time for members of the president’s party — Whitmer won reelection over her GOP challenger, a conservative media personality, by more than 10 percentage points, helping Democrats flip the state legislature. She then signed progressive laws on climate change, gay rights, guns and unions and positioned herself as a leading post-Roe crusader for abortion rights — while maintaining one of the highest net approval ratings of any battleground governor.

Those are the only ones I really know anything at all about besides Harris, who would be one of last choices and whom I dont like. Since I dont like her she will probably take bidens spot lol.

But I would vote for anyone over trump and biden at this point.

For those hoping for Michelle Obama this article has her as the least likely choice despite doing the best of anyone in head to head polls vs trump.
A post-debate Ipsos/Reuters poll found that the former first lady, 60, would trounce Trump 50% to 39% if the election were held today, making her the only Democrat on this list who would start the race with better-than-even odds of holding onto the Oval Office. That’s a testament to Obama’s enduring popularity — both her husband Barack’s, and her own.
Obama has no experience running for elective office. She has never been a political candidate. And more than that, she seems to despise the whole partisan process, having tried (and failed) to prevent her husband from running and subsequently “drilled into [her daughters] so early that you would be crazy to go into politics,” as Barack recently put it. The chances that Obama would sacrifice her hard-earned post-White House private life to mud wrestle with Trump are next to nil.
 
There is a strong rumor going around Washington right now that Biden will not only stop his campaign, but that he will resign from the Presidency in this next week.

Wow if true. Wouldn't be surprised about the first part but would be pretty shocked about the second part.

If I were him I would definitely not be running for a second term. Of course I would have made that decision a long time ago. President is a stressful job with most of the world and at least half the country hating you. Biden has accomplished enough and made plenty of money. And is old as ****. It's insane to me that he would even want to have a second term.

Power is intoxicating. Especially secondary power that comes with being connected to the one in power but with none of the responsibility. That's why Biden's family is pushing him so hard. They like being related to the president.

We'll see, but I could definitely see this happening. If Joe Biden stays in then he will win, and Kamala will be VP, and when Biden dies or whatever then Kamala will have the Presidency until 2028, at which time she will be the incumbent and most likely to win another term. That would lock Gavin Newsom out until 2032.

Very deep pocketed billionaires are backing Gavin Newsom and the Biden clan likes money. It solves a problem for the Democrats to have Kamala be the first woman President and first Black woman President now in this current term so that in the election this November they don't have to worry about needing to push the first Black woman President because been there, done that.

Being famous would be the absolute worse to me. I would go into hiding; it would be so irritating to go to a peaceful dinner or outing and being approached and talking to strangers.

Yep. It would suck really bad.

Even if you were famous and most everyone liked you it would suck. But being famous and having millions of people hate you? **** that.

It's crazy to me that anyone who is already successful would want to be president. I'm glad there are those who do want to be president but if I were rich, smart, successful, happy etc then there is no way in hell I would have any desire to be the president.
