Almost every Democrat and leftist who saw the presidential debate on Thursday night and watched President Joe Biden melt down is "panicked" and plotting. From the legacy media, to mega-donors, to other Democrat electeds, they all want to know when Joe Biden will be replaced on the Democrat ticket.
Our Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar outlined cogently how it could be done, while moving historic VP Kamala Harris to the side in the process. So, as the speculation grows louder (so much for "democracy"), so does the floating of names on who could be potential replacements.
MSNBC's Chief Political Analyst Chuck Todd pontificated about an open convention, and Joe Biden magnanimously releasing his delegates and walking away (not gonna happen).
Friday afternoon, the first biracial president let his voice be heard, and he proclaimed that he is all in for Joe.
Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the…— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) June 28, 2024
But these are Democrats, and they change the rules to suit their aims. Just ask Hillary Clinton in 2008 or Bernie Sanders in 2016. So, even though we've heard the shadow administration of Obama and the Biden campaign quelling such talk, we still must be concerned about who is being considered for his replacement. These names happen to be the trifecta of governors who delight in being authoritarians, capriciously trample on civil liberties, and who made the COVID mess even more of a living hell for their constituents because of it.
Color us shocked.
We've known for a while that disgraced New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is on a comeback tour. While less thirsty than one of the other contenders here, Cuomo is still low-key slavering to get back into national politics, and like some others, doesn't want to wait for 2028.
The disgraced former governor of New York Andrew Cuomo is plotting a political comeback as the mayor of the Big Apple, according to multiple reports.
Cuomo, 65, resigned in 2021 amid a series of scandals including allegations of sexual harassment and claims that his administration lied about the number of Covid-19 deaths in nursing home across the Empire State - accusations which he has denied.
Now rumors of a mayoral run come as the city's current Mayor Eric Adams faces cripplingly low poll numbers as residents bemoan his inability to handle the migrant crisis, not to mention a pending federal investigation.
A source close to Cuomo told DailyMail.com: 'The future is the future and he gets these questions often, which I think are fueled by the fact that many people are facing a crisis in confidence in government at many levels and now view the circumstances in which he left office as the political railroading that it was.'
So, Cuomo wasn't a sexually harassing cretin who killed grandma, he was just politically railroaded. Mmmkay...
Fox News weather correspondent Janice Dean, whose in-laws died in one of Cuomo's COVID nursing homes, is making it her mission to remind people what a horrible human Andrew Cuomo is and why he should be nowhere near public office again:
If there’s one thing we know for sure after four years of trying to get justice for the deaths of our loved ones, Andrew Cuomo has never taken responsibility for his actions, issued apologies or admitted mistakes. My oped for @nypost: https://t.co/uanYe13Uh6— Janice Dean (@JaniceDean) June 12, 2024
It is bemusing that the governor of Michigan even has a fan base after what she's done to destroy the state. One of her biggest fans appeared on the "Piers Morgan Uncensored" podcast as part of a debate recap panel that was chock full of crazy, and included Trump's former lawyer Jenna Ellis and "The Young Turks" founder Cenk Uygur. Most of the panel represented the cross-section of the progressive vote, so Morgan asked them who they thought would make a credible replacement for Biden.
Cenk Uygur felt that CA Rep. Ro Khanna or MD Rep. Jamie Raskin would be popular and effective candidates, although both have little to no national name recognition. Morgan then asked podcaster and populist Vinny Oshana about Hillary Clinton, and Oshana felt as though she could be a credible threat. But Twitch streamer Hasan Piker took it right there, when he waxed eloquently about "Big Gretch" and doubled down with Jenna Ellis about how she was wrong about Whitmer's policies.
This is the governor who called for seed and gardening supplies to be locked up during COVID, because God forbid you have the ability to grow your own food. The Twitch head Piker mansplained Ellis about abortion, when Ellis was exactly right. Whitmer has loudly championed abortion past birth. Even Axios has been using her name in vain:
Minutes after President Joe Biden walked off the debate stage, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was among the first names floated by pundits as a potential emergency replacement. [...]
State of play: Whitmer's stardom has grown in the national Democratic Party since she helped Michigan flip the Legislature, which scored the first Democratic trifecta in a generation.
- The term-limited governor hasn't ruled out a future presidential run, but has firmly supported Biden's re-election campaign as its co-chair.
Between the lines: Part of her appeal lies in her experience working across the aisle while championing Democratic causes like gun safety measures, abortion access and civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ residents.
- The governor launched a national political group last year in an effort to boost her public profile.
At Dulles and literally just overheard a guy pacing back and forth on the phone and overheard this: ‘Yeah, I’m hearing Whitmer too….”— Amy Walter (@amyewalter) June 28, 2024
My colleague Duke, who has suffered under the Whitmer regime, told me he doesn't think she'll do it. But Whitmer's as power-mad as the rest of them, so don't count her out.
The King of COVID hypocrisy and the worst governor in America is never where he should be (his failing state, California) and always chasing the national spotlight. But he'd never, never consider trying to fill Biden's shoes.
Gavin Newsom was asked on the spin room floor at the CNN presidential debate whether he’s prepared to step in for Biden:

Here, pull the other leg. For those of us who have been sounding the alarm bells for years, he would be the worst choice to replace Joe Biden. You think inflation, our Southern border, and our infrastructure look bad now? Get Newsom in the White House, and it will become 1,000 times worse:

Many Democrats want to replace Biden with California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Doing so would be a disaster for the nation. Please consider these three key facts, and watch the video below for an overview:
1. Newsom's policies led directly to homelessness increasing by 31% in California, even as it decreased by 18% in the rest of the US from 2010-2020. Homelessness increased another 7.5% between 2022 and 2023.
2. Newsom's policies led directly to skyrocketing crime. One out of four San Francisco residents polled say they were a victim of crime in the last year, and 42% say they were a victim more than once.
3. Rising crime and homelessness, high taxes, and unaffordable housing under Newsom has resulted in people fleeing the state. The state's total population declined by 573,000 from its peak in 2020.
I have interviewed hundreds of homeless people in California. Many, if not most, are from out of state. Many said they came to California so they could be paid to use hard drugs, in many cases to self-medicate severe mental illness. And many are assaulted and left to die, resulting in far higher rates of drug death than other parts of the nation.
Don't believe the hype: Newsom is not compassionate. He only cares about himself, and his policies result in grotesque cruelty.
Suffice to say, in the case of President Joe Biden, we might want to stick with the devil we know, even when the devil is barely functioning.
They are stuck with him unless he decides to refuse the nomination. Guess they thought they would be able to continue injecting that decrepit old pedophile full of drugs and drag him over the finish line. Maybe somebody swapped out the wrong cocktail last night.
Abrams/Newsom ‘24!
It's about POWER - by any means necessary.
Newsome and Whitmer know that if they step in at this late date to snatch the nomination they will likely lose nd it will ruin their chances for 2028. The only viable nominee is Hillary, who would jump at the chance and has nothing to lose.
Will the DC criminal cabal somehow put the Hag up again and then cheat her into the WH? I’m sure the Hag still salivates at the thought of being the POTUS
t’s likely already too late to remove Joe Biden from the ballot. ODK Dewms don’t follow the law but:
WISCONSIN — It’s already too late to remove Joe Biden from the ballot.
NEVADA—After tonight, the fourth Friday in June, it will be too late to remove Joe Biden.
GEORGIA—Only a few weeks remain before it will be too late to remove Biden from the ballot.
From DailyMail:
The Heritage Oversight project has set their sights on three contentious swing states where they believe taking Biden off the Democratic ticket would not allow anyone else to replace him: Georgia, Nevada and Wisconsin.
Wisconsin does not allow withdrawal from the ballot for any reason besides death.
In Nevada, no changes can be made to the ballot after 5 p.m. on the fourth Friday in June of an election year or ‘a nominee dies or is adjudicated insane or mentally incompetent.’
If Biden were to withdraw less than 60 days before the election Georgia his name will remain on the ballot but no votes will be counted.
In Texas, the two party’s nominees have until the 74th day before the election to withdraw from the ballot. Some states, like South Carolina, do not allow candidates to withdraw for political reasons.

Someone smart, articulate, attractive, a true believer.
Someone with a limited political record.
Mixed race would be ideal.
NOT confrontational - in sharp contrast to candidate Trump.
Bottom Line...
The Democrats and the "Lean" Democrats are a numerical majority in the USA.
They only need to win three swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin to get to 270 Electoral Votes.
V.P. Kamala Harris has no say in anything, because she has no natural constituency or donor group.
Obama's correct.
Just not about which guy he's talking about.
Brandon is my Democrat candidate of choice.
...but their media will never let that TRUTH see the light of day.
We need "affirmative action" in media/academia.
Ronald Reagan had an awful debate performance in his first debate with Walter Mondale.
Trump agreeing to a debate at a point where THE WEAKEST AND WORST CANDIDATE IN HISTORY could be REPLACED is the single STUPIDEST move in american political history.
Change my mind.
“Ronald Reagan had an awful debate performance in his first debate with Walter Mondale.”
Reagan was Shakespeare and Mark Twain compared to Biden. The press would have destroyed him if he was anywhere near that decrepit level.
If the above freeper’s data is accurate, do you think biden’s replacement could win without evs from WI,NV and GA, a total of 32 electoral votes they got in 2020? 270 to win apparently has these states as tossups currently.
For once, I’m not trying to start anything, I am just curious as to your thoughts on that. If we can see that info, I know Trump’s team can. I am sure he is willing to pull whatever tricks he can to reduce the chance of being cheated again.
King Mario had dreams of being the 1st Italian for the office of president.
Andrew is a non-sequetor.
I’m rooting for Brandon. Nuthin’ wrong with him.
This is why I laugh hysterically when the Democrap Talking Heads and Pundits on MSNBC say the Democraps have a “deep bench”.
The powers that run the DNC may choose to take a loss on the White House this cycle and focus the cheat on the Senate and House.
Neither candidate will be an incumbent in 2028. There will be a clean slate of candidates for president. But the left can pull a whole bunch of dirty tricks if they control the legislature.
EC
2nd choice; Chuck Schumer, the man of the people who took a photo op viral by putting a piece of cheese on a raw burger. The only thing missing was some bacon. Man of the People! Just a Regular Guy!
