Joe Biden’s 2024 Problem
Reports continue to surface in mainstream outlets like The New York Times and Politico that Joe Biden may not run in 2024. Biden has continued to push back his campaign's announcement date, which is worrying Democrats and causing some to leak stories to the press. Democrats need Biden to announce sooner than later in order to avoid poor fundraising numbers before key federally-mandated reporting deadlines that would spawn unflattering stories. However, I don’t think that’s what is really happening. Every story about Biden and 2024 mentions one thing: Kamala Harris is weak and Democrats think she could be beaten. I think Biden is likely to run but is weighing whether to run with Kamala Harris. Here’s why that’s a massive problem.
Erick: Yes, you are absolutely correct. Kamela needs to go. It will be remembered that FDR changed vp's at least once, and in his final election chose Harry Truman, who was not well-known.
Also, who was it who said, " Lyndon, the VP isn't worth a pitcher of warm spit." (But he did not say spit, and everyone knows what he (James Nance Garner) really said. And we know how that turned out.
But, as you said, Biden can't throw Kamela under the bus, because of the dems' inability to see beyond identity politics, So is Biden hoist on his own petard?

What a conundrum for poor old Joe. The good news is that if Trump is the GOP candidate in the general election, old Joe, woke and destructive as he is, can count on the establishment GOP vote. Personal hate of Trump trumps all other establishment GOP brain cells.
