If President Biden were to decide not to run for reelection, who should replace him?

People are talking about Kamala Harris a lot in the press. I think she would be a losing candidate.

It’s too late for a replacement that has any shot at beating Trump. It order to do this the democrats would have to run a sh*t storm last minute primary then try to campaign the candidate with less then 4 months to the election.

Kamala Harris is polling even worse against Trump then Biden in a hypothetical matchup. Been then again she only got the VP slot because Biden explicitly said he wanted a “black woman” before he even choose his pick. He was so incredibly spineless that he choose a black woman who accused him of “racism” during the 2020 primaries. But this is what you get when put DEI ahead of all else. She’s extremely unlikeable and hasn’t done jack at her time in office.

This is 100% the democrats fault. Biden was selected as a perceived moderate (he’s been nothing but). He won the primaries ONLY because he was remembered as Obama’s VP by voters. He won the general election ONLY because he ran against Trump in 2020. Nobody was excited about him. Then liberals chalked up any criticism about his age as “MAGA nonsense”.

The mass media worked in concert with the White House to cover him up his cognitive decline. Then his administration took a huge gamble when they saw he was neck to neck with Trump in the polls. They worked with CNN to setup the debate with rules that heavily favored Biden. And what did Biden do with that opportunity? He performed worse then any democrat’s nightmare and now it’s too late to replace him. There is no reversing that cataclysmic disaster. And anybody claiming Biden somehow “won” that debate has an IQ lower then room temperature. And don’t give me the “well Trump lied” Of course he did and candidates always do that including Biden. Except Biden was so senile nobody even noticed his lying because they couldn’t even figure out what the hell he was talking about in the first place.

Whether you like it or not Trump has November in the bag UNLESS he says or does something really stupid. Not impossible knowing Trump of course but not very likely. Because no rake Trump will inevitably step on could possibly make him look worse then Biden at this point. People have grown tone deaf to his negative media publicity too given it’s so nonstop nobody can separate fact from fiction anymore.

So unless there is a magical fountain of youth somewhere there is literally nothing Biden can do to repair his image at this point. Zero.

Also even if Trump goes to prison he still be elected. In fact that might even help him even more because he will have very limited in person publicity and won’t be able to say something stupid like he’s prone to doing. And when he takes the office in January he will able to pardon himself and head straight to the White House. And have zero sympathy what so ever for the DNC nor the Biden administration. None.

“Never underestimate Joe Biden’s ability to f*ck things up.”

- Barack Obama (and yes he really said that.)

These three are decent candidates off the top of my head that would appeal to independents and centrists.

• Current Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer
• Current New Jersey Senator and former Mayor of Newark NJ Cory Booker
• Current US Secretary of Commerce and former Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo

All of these persons are good; the two women especially. If either woman was at the top of the ticket, either Kamala Harris or Cory Booker should be the VP candidate. I'd lean towards Booker.

They are:

• Not too far left
• Have a record of accomplishments while being the head of an Executive Branch of government
• Are well-spoken
• Are NOT OLD.

I have no idea, at all. I am dreading Biden being replaced with Kamala and Newsom being put in as VP. Newsom is pretty enough to capture most women voters and he could be touted as the "backstop" to Kamala.

Personally, I think Newsom should meet a short rope and a tall tree... but that's just me.

[msc545]

Here in CA we rather like Newsom most of the time... but whatever. Kamala would lose.

[you_asked]

How the hell do you like Newsome? That POS has ruined a perfectly good state.

Wow.

[msc545]

@you_asked I live in CA and it isn't ruined at all. Do you live here?

[you_asked]

I live in Arizona and have tons of ex-California neighbors. Can’t blame them for leaving California but want to punch them in the face for being far left liberals.

[msc545]

@you_asked What does any of that prove about Newsom?

[you_asked]

Everyone left due to skyrocketing taxes and gas prices. AKA…. Newsome policies.

[msc545]

@you_asked That was unrelated to Newsom. Oil company executives raise prices, not governors. Taxes did not increase in CA.

[you_asked]

Hahaha stop watching CNN and MSNBC.

[msc545]

@you_asked Stop listening to Trump and Fox.

[exitseven]

democrats really have nobody on the bench who can come in and pinch hit for the Big Guy. Kamala will be just as bad as anyone else. hey have nobody to blame but themselves.

i see michael obama rally coming since 4 years ago

[Pterodon]

The dems don’t have anyone that can win this time

[msc545]

you may be right about this - it occurred to me too.

[NathanDavis]

it won't be me... that's for sure

[Danzigdawson]

Michelle Obama

[Danzigdawson]

... or Barack. He would destroy trump without even trying.

[abc3643]

He is constitutionally prohibited from running.

[Danzigdawson]

@abc3643 That's true. My mistake.
