That’s it exactly: she and other Dem hopefuls — Witchy Whitmer, Toothsome Newsom, et al. — aren’t going to waste political capital on a hopeless run vs. Trump. They’ll wait until 2028. If anyone other than Biden is on the 2024 ticket it’ll be Kamala, and she’ll be there to take the hit and then fade away.

I think this analysis makes sense. Even if the Rats pull Biden/Harris out of the race at the convention, you’ve got a divided party and chaos. Not the right climate for a win against Trump who’s an awesome campaigner, former President, and already leading in the polls.
