K... the Dems aren't actually going to run him again , are they?

biden is a terrible choice for 2024. he'll be 81 ffs.

who's in the discussion? gabbard? klobuchar? harris? warren maybe? buttigieg?

alasdair
Nah, they've mostly suggested Gavin Newsom (blah), Kamala Harris (ehhh), Gretchen Whitmer (umm). Occasionally people also mentioned Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly (mostly notable for having been an astronaut), Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (notable for being from Kentucky), and House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries (who would be the first Speaker to become President if elected). Warren's brand sank when people realized a wealth tax wouldn't raise enough money to fund healthcare (no other country has done this, ever) oh and the Cherokee DNA thing, Buttigieg is still eating crow over the East Palestine train derailment, and Gabbard has been leaning into social conservatism (notably endorsing Florida's "Parental Rights in Education Act").

Klobuchar is a bit of a tragedy because the NYT could have saved the country if they had gone with their gut and endorsed her, but instead they did an utterly stupid "double endorsement" of both her and Warren. Now she is recovering from a bout with cancer in 2021 (so am I) which unfortunately required further surgery... checks notes... yesterday.
