As for the Dems, you know Kamala will run if Biden doesn't but I see her as Hilary Clinton light. Trump will wipe the floor with her for so many reasons, some legitimate, some not so much. The best bet might be to go with Pete Buttigieg, he's young, everyone seems to like him, and if the blacks don't go Kamala or bust (there was a controversial racial incident while he was mayor of South Bend), I think he has a great shot to win in 2024.
If they do decide to go with an African-American woman though, they can't go wrong with Stacey Abrams (hope she makes it as Georgia Governor) |
Kamala's bust is one of the few things she has going for her. For someone to potentially lose the double whammy takes a lot of effort, but she looks like she did it.

Plus you can't take seriously anyone whose name begins in Butt...

What the right needs is another Trump without all the baggage. Josh Hawley probably wishes he could be that dude but he's as boring as Pete Buttigieg. Ted Cruz would take that mantle but he's too much of a worm to capture any kind of excitement. Tbh the right should just beg Tucker Carlson to give up his show and run.

himbo?
What about the Duke of Death, OH's friend down there in Florida? Or YEE-HAW Abbot?
Let's not forget that Covid will definitely also have an effect on the next election, as it's wiping out Republican voters like there's no tomorrow.
