As they look toward 2024, Democrats are unified in their conception of doom: the restoration of Trump, joined down-ballot by anti-democratic Republicans who will end fair elections and any hope of combating climate change. But Democratic divisions remain over how to prevent that dismal future. Many are preoccupied by the midterms, which are less predictable now that post-Roe fury may well send more pro-choice voters to the polls, and others are focused on the even more immediate threat of rampaging inflation. Hanging over it all is a genuine debate over whether Biden’s being on or off the ticket is the best course of action. “Is this a real question?” one disbelieving White House aide asked me on a recent evening when I brought up what might happen in 2024. “Great question,” one of that staffer’s close friends high up in the administration said the next morning, nodding enthusiastically. It’s possible to read the actions of nearly a dozen Democrats as putting themselves in position to run on the off chance that Biden doesn’t — or can’t. That also didn’t happen to any of his recent predecessors.
Imagining an alternative is far from just a D.C. parlor game. Only three in ten Americans think Biden will seek a second term, according to a recent Wall Street Journal poll. That survey also revealed that even among Democrats, a group that likes and approves of Biden in general, fewer than half are sure the president is planning on round two and a third outright think he isn’t. Biden can’t discredit the findings; the data was gathered in part by the research firm led by his own pollster, John Anzalone.

Let’s HOPE Democrats don’t “get smart” all the sudden...
This is a hilarious pickle they’re in. Will be quite amusing to watch the resulting gyrations.
*But yeah, go ahead and cream your pants for the likes of John Thune*
Who’s challenging Thune amongst you folks? I sent him $50 when the alternative was tiny Tom Daschle. He went stale but that $50 was well spent(2004). I suppose Thune was not good enough for you back then? No one challenging Sasse either.
Go beat up Susan Collins and see what it gets us.
NAH, they are both hated by everybody.
I will let the run two of my best friends though, I think they are both DEMOCRATS.
They both get free housing, free health care, free food, they don’t have to pay any bills, neither one has ever paid any taxes, and all they ever do is beg and whine!
Clifford is a very handsome BROWN male and Sophie is a very beautiful BLACK older female.
NOW THE FACT THAT THEY BOTH HAVE 4 LEGS WOULD JUST BE SPECIESISM!
Even though I believe them both to be DEMOCRATS, I would still vote for them before I would even consider voting for Mr. BRAINDEAD and the HO!
That should have been (I will let THEM) in the second line.

Deep State will pick another idiot front man/woman.
While it doesn’t have a deep bench, it does seem to have a yuge collection of dunce chairs.
Note to the Dems: What are you worried about? You’ll get who Deep State picks. And like it.
Just like the rest of us
