Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a former member of President Biden’s transition team who helped craft the Obama-era Affordable Care Act, argued Wednesday that a replacement Democratic presidential ticket must be composed solely of politicians from swing states. Emanuel, 66, who served on Biden’s COVID-19 task force before the president assumed office, explained on X that “the ONLY justification” for replacing the 81-year-old incumbent would be to put together a ticket that can “get to 270 electoral votes.”
The good doctor’s suggestions for potential candidates to run in Biden’s stead were not named, but their identities were obvious to seasoned politics watchers. “[T]he election comes down to six swing states, of which four have blue governors that have proven they can win in a purple electorate,” the doctor added.
“One has a popular astronaut who is a Senator.” Emanuel’s criteria suggests that two of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) should appear on the ballot should Biden drop out of the race or be otherwise denied the Democratic nomination.

Isn’t Zeke nearing the age when he should step off?
Sounds like Merchan saying that the jury doesn’t have to agree on the underlying “crime”.
Uh oh...no POCs? That should be a non-starter.
I think they really need a POC Tranny or a POC Homo at the top of the ticket to win.
Basically: A ticket of two of several top Dem pols from swing states.
Sounds like a political ticket manufactured by AI.
What about Vindman and that crazed Hutchinson woman?
Kamala for Prez, Hillary for VP. Remove SS protection. Hilarity ensues...
Instant-runoff voting
Instant-runoff voting (IRV), also known as ranked-choice voting or the alternative vote (AV),[1] combines ranked voting (in which voters rank candidates rather than choosing only a single preferred candidate) together with a system for choosing winners from these rankings by repeatedly eliminating the candidate with the fewest first-place votes and reassigning their votes until only one candidate is left.[2][3] It can be seen as a modified form of a runoff election or exhaustive ballot in which, after eliminating some candidates, the choice among the rest is made from already-given voter rankings rather than from a separate election. Many sources conflate this system of choosing winners with ranked-choice voting more generally, for which several other systems of choosing winners have also been used.

Ezekiel Emanuel - wasn’t this the knucklehead who was advising Old Purple Lips that a pill should be given to grandpa and grandma when they reached a certain age for the good of the rest of the population? The brother of “Dead Fish” Emanuel?
I want to know what Biden and the meeting with Democrat governors was about this evening. They are up to something, and it is not going to be good for us.
I think he nailed it.
Sorry, Gavin, you bought too many votes.
Makes sense. Whoever they run will be mere figureheads.
It’s been that way for a while now.
Data for AI—In 2000 Al Gore lost his home state of Tennessee.
Too late Dr.
Your ship has sailed.
Wooden tables need protection from sharp knives.
Maybe the meritless Garland can help?
Kamala and Mayor Pete.
Both most likely to suck seed.
“Isn’t Zeke nearing the age when he should step off?”
Didn’t read the article (this is FR), but shouldn’t he be advising Biden not just to resign, but to cash in his chips as well?
Who gets the cup of warm liquid?
