DEMOCRAT INCUMBENTS ARE ALREADY LOOKING LIKE LAME DUCKS
BIDEN, HARRIS IN TROUBLE, HILLARY WORKING OUT
It is still just over 3 years to the next presidential election and things are heating up, particularly on the Democrat side. Murmurings about their prospects for 2024 have become much more transparent as there have been open calls for Biden not to run again. Kamala Harris has sort of become an invisible Vice-President, whether this is some kind of modern political strategy to be invisible and let the media tailor your image or she just is way over her head. Either way, at the moment it looks like there is a search underway for new candidates for 2024.
The only Democrat at the moment who seems to have national prominence is Joe Manchin, who could possibly win a national race, but who would have a tough time winning a Democrat primary. Cuomo has already been canceled out by his own party. Newsom is still alive, but a long shot to win a general election.Then there is the same list from 2020, Buttigig, Sanders and the rest. I may be missing someone, but I just don't see a possible winner in the herd.
In presidential politics it is soon time to start making the moves necessary to construct a viable campaign team. As long as Biden insists he is running, it will make it tough for the rest to start talking up their candidacy.
Kamala Harris, the choice of Obama and his team, is just not showing any real gravitas, she already looks like a dead duck. I always thought Biden would resign and she would become the first mixed race women President, thus checking all the democrat boxes. If she no longer is being considered, then they may have her make an exit for some reason and then have someone else become Vice-President. That seems very complex, but who knows.
Then we now already see the stirrings of Hillary Clinton, I would not be surprised if she starts showing up all over the place. Rumor has it she has hired a personal trainer and is going to look like a new women soon. She still wants very badly to become president and this would be her last shot. Maybe they could convince Kamala to step aside, make Hillary Vice-President, then have old Joe bow out and presto, Hillary would be president and a incumbent candidate for 2024. The media would love it, the establishment bureaucracy would love it and the democrat base would just have to suck it up without a primary.
Then there is the Republican side, Donald Trump has his thumb in the dike, holding back dozens of potential candidates. Until he proclaims whether he is running again, it will remain this way. Mike Pence is campaigning, Chris Christie is testing the waters and Ron Desantis is possibly the front runner without a Trump candidacy. No matter who, Trump's endorsement will be very powerful if he should decide not to run.
The media would love nothing better than a Hillary/Trump redo, it would be the campaign of the century. Lots will be depend who wins the House and Senate in 2022. Either way we can expect all the possible candidates to proceed to get their face in the media starting now.
