Elections are all about optics, and the optics are he might not even make it to the general election, let alone the following 4 years if elected. The populace is starting to wonder how much Biden is just a real life Weekend at Bernies now where they really weren’t before.
It sounds like the DNC is looking at some former state governors. I forget the names but recent governor of Michigan, Kentucky, and Minnesota were mentioned. But I’d put money on them rolling out former California governor Gavin Newsom. He’s super moderate, not very likable but not too unlikable, and the only one of the names I’ve seen mentioned that I actually recognize as someone who pays some attention to the news.
Plus there’s an interview where they’re asking him if he’s going to be picked and he’s struggling not to beam like he’s just been told he has a shot right now at his biggest lifetime goal.
