The Democrats are scrambling to find a viable candidate for the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election, as Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris’ popularity is non-existent – and they are now turning to governors of various states to help them out.
Joe Biden has said that he intends to run again in 2024, but Democrats are privately worried about his age and capacity to do the job and the upcoming Midterm Elections that could [potentially see Republicans take back both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is one of those that has been touted as a potential candidate, despite his popularity not even being that great in his own state and apparently, Newsom has even joined former President Donald Trump’s social media platform – Truth Social – to allegedly challenge Republicans on their own platform.
If Joe Biden does decide to not run again, Democrat governors are positioning themselves to be the stand-in – trying to sell themselves and their state’s “achievements” like stricter gun control laws and access to abortion as a selling point.
Newsom may have a hard time selling his achievements, however, as there are not many, and Californians have been leaving the Golden State in droves for years now because living costs and taxes are so high.
Another thing that could be talked about is the individual governor’s leadership during the covid pandemic and Newsom nearly killed his state with strict lockdowns that went on and off for the better part of two years and vaccine mandates are beginning to kill off the workforce.
Corey Platt, former political director at the Democratic Governors Association said, “For governors, especially those up in 2022, you’re building an operation for now, but you could also use it again in 2024 or 2028 — and for those who can win in 2022, they’ve got a really good story to tell that keeps them separate from the national Democratic brand,” adding that he is a Biden supporter and still believes Biden will still be the likely candidate in 2024.
“It’s happening in the lightest of ways for all the obvious reasons, including the need to build a national fundraising operation,” Platt added. “But if you want to run for president one day, that doesn’t happen overnight.”
David Axelrod, a Democrat strategist and former adviser to former President Barack Obama, pointed out two governors who are already independently wealthy, “If Biden isn’t going to run, but he doesn’t make that decision until very late, as is his habit, there’s not a lot of time to introduce yourself to the country. So that favors the candidates who have already run, and it may favor candidates who already have resources, like Pritzker and Murphy.”
Axelrod added, “Governors are a bit freer to get out there because they’re not situated in Washington, but also because the imperative is greater for them to get into those national conversations.”
“I think there is at least some fair conjecture that [Biden’s age] will ultimately cause him not to run,” Axelrod said, “so it’s natural that politicians are thinking about the ‘what if.’”
DEMOCRAPS ARE DONE!
I’m thinking the same thing. The damage they’ve done to this country can’t be undone in a year & a half.
Agreed.
The democraps are not done. They can still win by fraud. Because from what I can see . Is that in key states they haven’t adopted laws against election fraud. And mail in ballots are not banned unless legitimate reason like military, out of the country or legitimacy if you’re sick or incapable of getting to voting station………PERIOD
Of course ‘the Democraps’ are not ‘done’. The ‘only way’ to permanently ‘get rid of them’ would be to ’round them up’ and place ‘all of them’ in front of ‘a firing squad’…but ‘I am certain’ there is ‘at least one law on the books’ which would ‘severely restrict’ all ‘resposible & law-abiding individuals’ from ‘resorting to such measures’.
Besides…since ‘the Democraps’ might possibly consisist of at least 50% of ‘the American public’, would ‘the gun manufacturing industry’ be able to produce sufficient ‘ammounts of ammunition’ to accomplish such ‘a task’…?
And moreover…’the smell’ of all those ‘rotting Democrap bodies’ would just be ‘absolutely disgusting’…! I ask you…?
No … ‘the Democraps’ are not done.
However…since it is becoming ‘quite apparent’ that ‘former President’ DONALD JOHN TRUMP plans on ‘running again’ for ‘high public office’ in 2024…peradventure…just perhaps…the ‘very real issue’ of election fraud taking stage ‘front & center’ in 2024 will materialize in ‘a big-time way’…! Again…I ask you…’KEVIN’ & JOHN DAVIS…?
Have a wonderful day…and don’t take any ‘wooden nickels’…except the ones which ‘coin-collectors’ want…! Kahpeesh…?
We can use all the ammo that the government agencies have bought recently. That should do it.
We must not allow Newsom to turn the entire country into California.
Absolutely true! “Gruesome Newsom,” Nancy’s SIL, is as corrupt, cynical & greedy as the rest of them and every bit as incompetent as Joe Biden.
The very reason our family moved home to our roots–out of state. Couldn’t leave California fast enough!!!! Discussed with the way things are being run. In all my 76 years I have never seen anything like this!!
Have you seen the documentary “2000 Mules?” It shows clearly how the fraud took place. You can find it on line for free.
Biden and his cronies have been planting illegals all over the country. Giving them cell phones. Wouldn’t surprise me that they’ve been given voter registration cards for upcoming elections with Instructions on who to vote for if they want to remain in this country.
Almost 2 million.
I have heard that the democraps are funding far right-wing Republican candidates in some primaries in hopes that they win so that they will later be defeated in the mid-term elections because no one would vote for a far right-wing candidate. It’s yet more evidence that the democraps cannot win without cheating.
I have heard all of this before .The only way is to increase yoey will give you moneyur knowledge of the runners. Then vote for the one you believe is telling the truth. CHECK THEm ALL OUT , do not go for the people who say they will give you money. We are so far in debt that it will take The Lord God to get us out of debt.
YES I AGREE WITH YOU RICHARD. THEY NEED TO GET ALL THESE DEMOCRATS OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. AND NEWSOM IS NOT SOME ONE WE NEED . SO BAD FOR US RIGHT NOW IT IS A CRYING SHAME.GOD OUGHT TO PUNISH ALL CRIMINALS THAT ARE OPPRESSING US THAT ARE POOR AND NEEDY. WE NEED SOME REPLUBLICANS THAT ARE NOT SOFT ON THE CRIMINALS THAT KEEP TROUBLING OUR NATION AND COUNTRY. PRETTY BAD, THAT YOU CANT GO TO A PARADE OR STORE OR CHURCH WITHOUT BEING AFRAID OF BEING SHOT AT.AND I DONT APPRECIATE THE GOVERNMENT SPENDING OUR TAX DOLLARS ON IMMIGRANTS AND FOR SUPPORTING WOMEN THAT IS HAVING ABORTIONS ALL THIS THEY ARE USING OUR TAX DOLLARS. AND THE LEADERS OF OUR NATION KEEP HARRASSING PEOPLE TO SIGN THE PETITION AND ASK FOR DONATIONS ITS WRONG. POOR PEOPLE CANT GIVE EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT. BESIDES THEY USING OUR MONEY WE GIVE THEM TO HELP THEM WIN THEY OR SOMEONE STICKING ALL THAT MONEY IN THEIR POCKET TO USE IT FOR THE IMMIGRANTS TO GET EVERYTHING FREE AND SAME WITH WOMEN WITH ABORTIONS.PLEASE JESUS TAKE US OUT OF THIS WORLD
The person who will replace Joe Biden in 2024 is DONALD JOHN TRUMP!!!!!
HURRICANE
I sure as HELL hope and pray you are right. We need Donald J Trump to SAVE and lead this country right now. I have never seen such a disgrace.
Pam
Newsome should be in prison right beside that drunken old bag nancy.
ABSOLUTELY…
If the Corrupt Democraptic Party believes, Gavin Newscum is their best Candidate for the 2024 Presidential Election, it really speaks to how far the Party has fallen. Just look at what Newsom has done to California and look at how many people have fled Newscum’s Dictatorship. Gavin is a real pain in the a**, foranyone who has to live under the Corrupt Governor’s Dictatorship. SO SAD THAT THIS IS THE BEST PICK FOR THE CORRUPT DEMOCRAPTIC PARTY…
Way to go TEXAS. Keep those bus loads rolling & dropping off in NY & DC.
