From the democrats' side, we already had Kathy Hochul going down in flames due to being a diversity hire and running with a diversity hire, Gretchen Whitmer's attempt to FBI her way into higher office exploded prematurely, and Kandyass Kumala has basically disappeared except for her friends private parties...I mean, political fundraisers. Ole Gaptooth from Georgia was never really running, she just wanted more money and real power from behind the scenes. Now, the serious contenders from the dems: Governor Polis is all but throwing his hat in the ring by attacking Ron DeSantis.. Adams of NYC can't get his shit together, but I guarantee there will be a few 'solved' crimes he will parry into a minor run.
Right now, it looks like Glass of Water (D) is the top candidate.
The republicans are all too busy stabbing each other so they can work their primaries, forget running for president. It's not about who will win, just who they don't want to be in there. That's why they are attacking Florida.
Who do you think will come in and take the lead?
Kemp is still going to win the gov primary despite Trump rightfully attacking him and he will likely finish Stacey Abrams' career for good.
I think in 2024 the Dems will be running Gavin Newsom for President.
The GOP base will either make the smart chance to nominate Ron Desantis or the risky choice and nominate Donald Trump again.
The next election will be a decisive battle for the future of the nation.
It would be smart to avoid injecting Trump as it would then become a referendum on Trump instead of any policies.
My hope is that it will be DeSantis vs Newsom instead of Trump vs Newsom.
It is easier to win when the choice is between Floridian common sense freedom vs Californian woke technocracy.
Trump vs Californian woke technocracy is a framing that will likely not go in our favor.
I don't believe a White man has a chance in the 2024 Democrat mainstream.
2020 they chose Biden.
Nothing has changed since then.
He was appointed because everyone else was too busy wallowing in their own shit or going down like Kamala for a Klondyke Bar.
My guess is that CA woke technocrat Newsom will be the next Biden.
Look at his competition for 2024:
Kamala Harris? Too bad for Harris that the primaries are not a contest on who can best emulate a Dyson Vacuum.
Pete Buttigieg? The guy epitomizes the midwit McKinsey PowerPoint class and him being gay will turn off some of the Black vote.
Jared Polis? Gay Dem Governor who didn't go full ZeroCovid? No way he is winning a Dem primary.
Stacey Abrams? Kemp will be ending her career this November.
Elizabeth Warren? Pocahantas will get destroyed again.
Amy Klobuchar? Hillary 2.0 who eats salad with a comb and abuses her staff won't have a chance.
Bernie/AOC/Ro Khanna/other democratic socialist? No way the DNC allows them to win the primaries.
By process of elimination I think it will have to be Newsom.
The demography changed a bit more.
Their base is still the ZeroCOVID Karens and Blacks. Nothing has changed.
