I'm gen y, pretty active in the community and know a ton of people my age that would generally be considered good people. I dont know 1 of them that is crazy enough to run for office
Who do you want the Democrats to run in '24?
- Thread starter the cac mamba
- Start date
If Biden bows out I expect to also see whitmer and Cooper in there. Cooper won governor in a state Trump carried twice. And then Pete because he seems to be the golden boy
NZA
LOL
i think the millennial trend now is for them to run in deep blue congressional seats with retiring democrat incumbents so as not to have too much of the party's money aimed against them. seems to work in new york quite a bit with ritchie torres and mondaire jones. not much of a true farm system as far as i can tell. i think gen x is still in the driver's seat as far as who's next up that the party actually has its finger prints on.
im fully confident biden is capable of serving until january of 2025. absolutely not capable of a nationwide campaign and serving into 2029
and dudes are CRAZILY underestimating the damage a republican house is gonna do to him with hunter biden
its gonna be an absolute circus
still think chris murphy is a good pick against the Orange fakkit
-we dont lose his seat, like we would with sherrod brown
-credibility of a US senator, none of the baggage that a liberal state governor like newsom has
-younger moderate that plays well in the suburbs, and millions of never trumpers would easily vote for
-we dont have to worry about fukkin far left turnout if donald trump is the republican. the democrat doesnt have to be "exciting'

He sounds desperate. He's clearly asking for something from someone that he thinks has an interest in him not running. I'm assuming the DOJ considering the news that his legal team was in DC last week talking to justice department big wigs.

Biden puts fear in these cowards hearts
man, im watching Whitmer's interview with chris wallace today. she would be such a good fukkin candidate in 2028. she's talking about how some woman told her "i've never voted democrat, i never thought i'd vote for you, but im out here campaigning for you because i won't let republicans control abortion access for my daughters". she's telling it in that midwest accent, and its literally one of the best moments ive ever seen from a politician 
if kamala ends up taking over for biden in his second term, the dems better primary her. i dont give a fukk about the optics, or how it looks, or if kamala feels slighted. i cant stomach the idea of watching kamala lose to fukkin ted cruz in '28

Democratic leaders want the party to stop its Kamala Harris pile-on ahead of 2024
CNN — none
Elizabeth Warren has called twice to apologize. Over a month later, Kamala Harris hasn’t called back.
In a local Boston radio interview in late January, Warren was enthusiastic about President Joe Biden running for reelection but, asked if Biden should keep Harris as his running mate, she said, “I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team.”
The incident and its aftermath, different details of which were described to CNN by multiple people close to the Massachusetts senator and people close to the vice president, has fed an ongoing breakdown of accusations and purported misunderstandings.
“Pretty insulting,” is how one person close to Harris described the feelings of many in the vice president’s office and in her wider orbit.
Several people close to Warren said the senator was calling to explain her statement as purely a mistake – a fumbling, unintentional attempt to avoid stepping on a campaign announcement from the president. A spokesperson for Warren pointed to the statement the senator issued hours after the original interview clarifying what she said, and an additional person close to Warren cited a personal and political relationship that goes back to being the first senator to endorse Harris for Senate and said of her support, “she didn’t mean to imply otherwise.
Warren made her case to Harris’ chief of staff Lorraine Voles, who returned the senator’s call in place of Harris, a source familiar with the callback told CNN.
But the Warren moment is infuriating many in Harris’s circle: To them, it’s the latest in a long string of snubs to a vice president whom they say has never gotten the respect or support she deserves. Warren’s words sting even more, they say, because they came from a former rival who in 2020 hoped to be picked as Biden’s running mate instead.
Harris diehards aren’t the only ones who say they have had enough. Embedded in many top Democrats’ thinking as Biden appears headed toward a reelection campaign announcement, according to CNN’s conversations with three dozen leading Democrats, is fear that years of Harris negativity could now prove a political problem. Any running mate is a heartbeat away from the presidency, they say, but that’s a different proposition when the heart in question has been beating for more than 80 years.
Multiple Democratic leaders contend that if people don’t start feeling more positive about the next person in the line of succession, they might turn away from the ticket entirely. They’re urging allies to stop the Harris pile-on, if only for Biden’s sake – or for Democrats’ sake, or the party’s future.
“People who are denigrating her are aggrandizing themselves,” said Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who has looked at a post-Biden White House run himself, speaking generally of Harris’ critics.
“Right now, she seems to be an albatross,” fretted one state Democratic Party chair who is concerned about Harris’ poll numbers and about Biden’s reelection chances. “She’s either going to be a liability or a help. And you better embrace her because it’s not like she’s going to be off the ticket.”
“It’s gone from the negative, ‘We can’t have her be weak,’ to the positive, ‘She must be a force, and she’s demonstrated that she can be,’” said one top party operative. The party chair and the party operative requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
Harris declined an interview request but has repeatedly dismissed attacks on her as “political chatter” in interviews while saying she’s looking forward to another campaign and continuing to build out a partnership with Biden that has started to find its complementary rhythms.
“There is still so much work to be done,” Harris said at a fundraiser in Miami Beach. “And we’ve accomplished a lot, but we still have more to do.”
Harris’ press secretary Kirsten Allen declined to comment on the Warren call with CNN, instead issuing a statement about what the vice president thinks is important in her job.
“Whether advancing the priorities of the Biden-Harris administration, defending Americans from unrelenting Republican attacks on freedom and liberty, or helping to restore our nation’s reputation on the global stage, the vice president remains laser-focused on improving the lives of the American people,” Allen said in her statement.
Biden advisers say he is committed to making sure Harris is a key player, just as he was as President Obama’s vice president. Jen O’Malley Dillon, White House deputy chief of staff, said Harris’s work within the administration and on the midterm campaign trail is a critical part of White House strategy.
“There is nobody – just like there was nobody who was more prepared to make a decision about who his vice president should be – who understands how critical it is to have a strong partnership and a strong VP out there helping lead the ticket across this country,” O’Malley Dillon said.
Feeling trapped in a caricature
While Warren may not have meant to express doubts, the Zoom call organized by a onetime Biden Senate speechwriter and attended by Hollywood donors, executives and actors, including Helen Hunt, Ron Livingston and “Beverly Hills, 90210” star Gabrielle Carteris, was full of them.
Harris is a huge liability, they complained to former California Sen. Barbara Boxer, according to two people on the call. She would hurt Biden’s chances, because people will focus on her, given his age. How, one asked Boxer, do they get Biden to replace her?
Boxer – whom Harris succeeded in the Senate in 2016 – gave a muted response.
“If that’s how you feel, you should let Biden know,” Boxer told them, according to people on the call. Asked about the comments, Boxer told CNN, “I said it was the president’s choice.”
Harris allies say she’s trapped in a “word salad” caricature, part Dan Quayle and part Liz Truss, which was set during her first year on the job and has been propelled by Republicans and a political press corps eager to tear her down. They argued to CNN she can only do so much to change public perception of her when the job is fundamentally about being in the background.
They also point out that it was right around this time in 2011 that Democrats began to speculate about Barack Obama replacing Biden on his own reelection ticket.
“If she shines too much, then she’s overshadowing the president,” Rev. Al Sharpton told CNN. “If she doesn’t overshadow or shine too much, she can’t rise to the occasion.”
Sharpton said he’s called the vice president a few times since she took office to vent about coverage he thinks has been unfair, only to find her talking him down.
Harris aides point to mid-February as an example of how involved she is: She was the one charged with announcing at the Munich Security Conference that the US government determined that Russia committed crimes against humanity in Ukraine, and in the following days promoted a new homeowners savings measure at an HBCU and then hosted reproductive rights leaders at the White House.
Trips like those or her January speech on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade in Tallahassee, the capital city for likely Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, not only boost Biden but present “the best counter to this false narrative that everyone wants to write up,” said her former aide and current top Biden staffer Julie Rodriguez.
