Avast ye scallywags! Methinks the Democrat bench be quite feeble. Newsom, Whitmer, an' Harris, they all be havin' their flaws. But fear not, for there be a mysterious pirate lurkin' in the shadows, a dark-horse candidate, ready to become President Biden's 2024 election booty! Ahoy!
Democrats are experiencing a range of emotions as they contemplate President Joe Biden running for reelection in 2024. They have gone from being hopeful to worried and frantic, and now they are getting angry. Liberal columnist Harold Meyerson is furious that more Democrats have not entered the race and is concerned that the party is sleepwalking towards disaster, which he believes would be the election of Donald Trump. Meyerson argues that Biden, while an excellent president, is the candidate least able to defeat Trump. He is not alone in this sentiment, as a rising chorus of Democrat voices are urging Biden to step aside, including Barack Obama. The question then becomes who might replace Biden. Meyerson mentions Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer as possibilities, but notes that both have their drawbacks. Newsom recently performed poorly in a debate with Ron DeSantis and is facing criticism for his mishandling of California's finances. Whitmer, on the other hand, has faced backlash for her COVID-19 mandates and has lower name recognition nationally. Another potential replacement is Kamala Harris, although her approval ratings are even worse than Biden's. Ultimately, the Democratic bench is seen as weak, and Biden may be forgiven for staying put given the lack of strong alternatives.
