(JD’s Substack)—Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, J.B. Pritzker, and Pete Buttigieg all want to be President of the United States. Josh Shapiro, Wes Moore, and Andy Beshear may want the job, though there hasn’t been any indication as such. Michelle Obama allegedly doesn’t want the job.
But other than Obama, all of these people have one thing in common. They all have a political career that will continue beyond 2024 if they do NOT replace Joe Biden as the Democrat nominee for president. Their names are being floated and they’re being courted by various powerbrokers behind the scenes, but it seems unlikely that any of them would jeopardize their future to take on an increasingly strong Donald J. Trump. Doing so would subvert their potential for 2028 or beyond.
This is why it seems like only two people are being floated by the Democrats’ communication team, also known as corporate media. Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton have been the most common names being proposed the last few days as replacements for Biden because neither has a political future whether they take over the nomination or not.
Harris is young enough but her time as Vice President has not endeared her to… well… anyone. She has alienated herself from Biden’s staff and rumors indicate many in her own staff don’t even like her. If Biden drops out of the race, she will have the unique advantage of taking over his campaign war chest which is why she’s being floated, but polls show she might perform even worse than her dementia-ridden boss.
If Biden stays in the race and they lose, Harris would have a harder time mounting a 2028 run than Mike Pence did this primary season.
As for Clinton, why not? She’ll be 77-years-old on Election Day. Nobody will be looking to her in 2028 whether she’s in this race or not so she has nothing to lose by replacing Biden. Some rumors say she’s being considered. Other say she and her husband are backing Biden. Who knows?
Coffee the Christian way: Promised Grounds
More importantly, who cares?
Barack Obama and his cronies in the Globalist Elite Cabal are working on their options. If they really wanted to, they could force Newsom, Whitmer, or anyone else with better chances than Clinton or Harris. If any among the younger group do end up being the nominee, it will be because Obama and his cronies made it happen.
Personally, I’d love to see either Harris or Clinton as nominee because of the entertainment value. Watching Biden on the campaign trail or in another (God forbid) debate makes me cringe. And if Obama gets one of the younger guns to play ball, then we’ll get to target Democrat policies as a whole and litigate them in front of voters. There’s a silver lining to pretty much any circumstance.
