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.

Given most Democrats don't want Biden to run, if he does, it will be all about the VP. Give even fewer Democrats like Kamala it is a forgone conclusion that, if Democrats and Biden are serious about winning (unlike with Hillary) he has no choice. The only question is, will Kamala cooperate and bow out with an excuse, or does Biden have to fire her?
Then there is the question of, who does he pick? Another POC woman, a woman, are there any gender confused or gay candidates, POC man, or God forbid an old straight white male?
Its my understanding that Black women like Kamala.
Biden’s approval rating is lower than whale crap. It remains to be seen how Democrats will spin this into anything positive.
Empathy for Americans would be good start for Biden and a reduction in Adderall.
