Although the 2024 presidential election is more than two years away, the horserace has begun, with potential candidates jockeying for financing, recognition, and position. After all, the US President is still the most powerful position in the world, although how long that remains the case is questionable with the rise of new financial and political world orders which may leave the US on the outside looking in.
The incumbent president typically has a huge advantage in reelection, although there are notable exceptions named Carter, Bush, and Trump. President Biden falls into the Carter category, presiding over a dismal economy. At least Carter recognized and made some attempt to right the sinking ship.
Biden is instead babbling incoherently and shaking hands with the air. Can he be reelected despite is already failed presidency? The Washington Post believes he is planning on running for a second term.
Slow Joe’s approval rating has dipped into the political death zone, 29 percent according to a recent Civiqs survey. Rasmussen has him polling higher, but still in the low 40s, a full 5-10 points below Trump at a similar point in their presidencies.
Inflation is over 9 percent, and we are likely to confirm, in a few weeks what many already sense, that we are in a recession. The President and his team are making no effort to turn things around, only taxing, spending, and regulating America into further stagflation.
A Siena College poll finds 64% of Democrats, not even waiting for the midterm election results, want their candidate in 2024 to be someone other than Biden. What about Biden’s number two?
A Rasmussen Reports survey found Vice-President Kamala Harris as “unpopular and unqualified”, not a ringing endorsement if she were to run instead of her boss. Like Biden, her utterances are word salads

President Trump!
He WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Hillary Clinton is the “best bet for Democrats in 2024” according to Democrat political consultant Douglas Schoen. Betting on a two-time presidential loser, who was deemed unsuited and unlikeable by voters for her party’s nomination against Barack Obama, then in the general election against Donald Trump, is a sign of the Democrats’ weak bench. Hillary has also said a presidential campaign in 2024 is “out of the question” although she has not been known for her veracity.
Who are the dark horses? One obvious name is Michelle Obama. Filmmaker Joel Gilbert, in his new film and book, “Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Life Story and Plan for Power”, reviews her narrative and makes a compelling case for her candidacy in 2024, not as an endorsement, but as a potential option for Democrats given their lack of electoral talent.
Given the sad state of the country, will Americans elect someone to run the country who never held political office and who has no relevant executive experience? After the Clintons and Bushes, America may not want another family dynasty.
Will Bernie make another go at it? Doubtful as he will be 82 years old on Election Day.
Elizabeth Warren will be 75 and is as unlikeable as Hillary Clinton.
Mayor Pete was a better mayor than Transportation Secretary, and that isn’t saying much.
Any other Democrat retreads want to make a run, such as Michael Bloomberg or Howard Schultz? Perhaps Marianne Williamson and her mood rocks and scented candles?
California Governor Gavin Newsom, having avoided being recalled, is making moves toward the White House. Aside from his policies making a mess of California, including crime, homelessness, and taxes, he too has a “practice what you preach” problem. He dined lavishly and maskless at the French Laundry while telling his residents to do the opposite, then took his family on vacation to Montana, a state he forbids travel to on state business due to Montana being insufficiently woke on LGBTQ issues.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is also making moves, but the state of Illinois, like California, is nothing to brag about. Also, in the age of television and social media, Pritzker’s body habitus won’t work in his favor. Right or wrong (please don’t accuse me of fat shaming), has any president in recent memory not been tall and relatively slim?
Personally, I think the best of the worst would be none other than JOE MANCHIN himself.
If the Democrats are smart, The Joe Manchin/Tulsi Gabbard tandem would be the most formidable IMHO.
Pompeo is a good bet if he quotes the Bible less and gets better fitting shirts.
Trying to get Trump to announce early so the midterms can be about him
Newsom is a shoo-in for the woke-comms.
Leni
Harris will be the incumbent and the nominee.
That is the plan.
Yep...
Three day old dishwater...
when will the Never Trumper Brigade on FR show up with another Desantis poll from another leftard source?
Maybe Mr. Ed???? I can see DJT riding Mr Ed to the finish line and the rest of the RINO’s as stable workers cleaning up the horses left overs...
Gruesome Newsom is dangerous. Keep your eye on Governor hair gel.
D’s are doomed
Only if they can’t steal it.
There is that
The key for a Democratic nominee is to come from a midwest or southern state. Carter and Clinton came from Georgia and Arkansas. Obama came from Illinois. Biden for his first 10 years of life lived in Scranton Pennsylvania. The problem for Newsom and Harris is they came from California, not a midwest or southern state. I think Democrats are stuck with Pritzker or Buttigieg.
Horse race eh. Going into the first turn, it’s Newsome by a half length, Clinton on the outside, the rest are in the pack. On the GOP track, it’s DeSantis by a nose over Trump, with nobody else currently in the front of the pack.
Pompeo is a good man and would be awesome but idk if he would survive the political gauntlet
