Democrats Ponder: What Are We Going to Do About Biden?

The difficult conversation many families have at some point about Pop-Pop.

Democrats are having that discussion about Biden now.

They're not sure if he's serious about running again in 2024 or just blathering and bullshitting and blustering like he usually does, and they're pretty sure they want him to just be blathering and bullshitting and blustering. They're pretty sure they don't want an 82-year-old running for president, when the 79-year-old version is already in steep decline.

But they're not sure what their backup plan would be.


On a Tuesday evening in April, nearly half a century after Joe Biden first publicly mused about running for president, an unsettled cross section of the Democratic Establishment assembled at Pinehurst, a golf resort in North Carolina. Inflation was at a 40-year high, Biden's disapproval rating sat at 56 percent, and editors at the New York Times were readying a front-page report about how his signature achievement -- $1.9 trillion in coronavirus-relief spending -- has "barely registered with voters." The lobbyists, donors, staffers, and elected officials were gathering for the spring policy meeting of the Democratic Governors Association, and the scheduled sessions concerned such topics as health care and diversity in governance. But between panel discussions, in the hallways and at the cocktail reception on the lawn, conversation shifted from grim -- the midterms -- to grimmer: the state of the party's planning for 2024, when Biden will stand for reelection on the eve of his 82nd birthday.

Biden hasn't formally announced his campaign for a second term, but in his mind there's no question he's running. "That's my expectation," he said early in his tenure. "Yes!" he told an interviewer nine months later, sighing a little performatively at having to keep repeating it. "It's been his life," says one of his longtime advisers. "It's like a shark that keeps swimming. It's how he stays alive." Or as another top Democrat puts it, "He was told in '16 he couldn't cut it. He runs in '20 and everybody rolls their eyes, and he still wins. So why in the world now would he be like, 'You guys are right. I am old'?" And yet many of the plugged-in Democrats wandered Pinehurst not entirely persuaded, calculating contingencies: If Biden's health turned, or if his polling truly collapsed, which of the party's governors might step up and save them from electoral ruin -- and the nightmare of a Trump comeback?

The article discusses a few possible alternative candidates -- including Governor Pritzker of Illinois and Governor Murphy of NJ (???). And Bernie Sanders, who's announced he's running again.

...

In the past few months[,] many of the Democratic Party's biggest donors -- even as they pledge to back Biden's reelection in earnest -- have quietly started to poke around for alternatives in 2024, partly out of a sense of responsibility just in case Biden steps aside. Several have bombarded Obama's old associates with pleas for insight into some sort of top-secret real plan that must exist for the next presidential contest.

There is no substantial precedent for the volume of questions about Biden's future. His inner circle's insistence that his doldrums will pass, that there's no cause for concern, is of little reassurance even to some close allies in the party. One person who fits this description has tried casually mapping out ways Biden could get away with avoiding a reelection bid without losing face, if it comes to that, such as insisting he is too busy to campaign because he's trying to prevent Russia's invasion of Ukraine from turning into World War III. But the ally hasn't gotten anywhere. As this person puts it, "The fumes from the paint in the White House are pretty strong."

...


Imagining an alternative is far from just a D.C. parlor game. Only three in ten Americans think Biden will seek a second term, according to a recent Wall Street Journal poll. That survey also revealed that even among Democrats, a group that likes and approves of Biden in general, fewer than half are sure the president is planning on round two and a third outright think he isn't. Biden can't discredit the findings; the data was gathered in part by the research firm led by his own pollster, John Anzalone. More troubling -- because it indicates that such doubts aren't just about transitory twitches in popularity -- is that similar skepticism arose in a series of private focus groups conducted by left-leaning organizations supportive of Biden last year. And that was before his approval ratings started to approach Trumpian lows.

This untenable state of affairs -- in which Biden insists he wants the job until he's 86 but much of his party won't listen -- is only partially a by-product of his not yet officially declaring his candidacy. (He's following the traditional timeline, in which the incumbent relaunches after the midterms.) It's partly because of Biden's own occasional hedges: With family tragedies and two brain aneurysms in his past, he has always allowed that he might step aside if his health declined or if "fate intervened." But its origins may also be traced precisely to March 9, 2020, when Biden pitched Democratic voters on a certain vision of the future.

One bit of analysis that was news to me was the idea that, if Biden doesn't run, or can't run, then Kamala Harris is the front-runner.

I assumed that Kamala Harris was all done. I assumed that she'd be allowed a Courtesy Run at the presidency, and then would be ushered out of the contest early, just a little less early than she'd been forced out of the 2020 primaries.

This article says no: She's the odds-on favorite to win the primary if Biden doesn't run.

The reason? The same reason Biden won in 2020. She's popular with the mainstays of the Democrat primary electorate, black voters.

...

Harris has never let anyone doubt that she expects Biden to seek a second term, and she has made no moves to set up a contingency campaign. She has effectively ceased to have contact with many of the highest-ranking advisers to her own 2020 bid. Yet if Biden did step aside, Harris would start the succession contest as the clear front-runner. A Politico newsletter recently pointed out that 27 surveys have tested the prospect of a Biden-free primary in the past year, and Harris has led 21 of them. (The remaining six were led by Michelle Obama, who is perhaps less likely to run than her constitutionally ineligible husband.), Underwater or not at the national level, Harris's popularity among Black voters in particular may make her impossible to beat in a primary -- which Biden, who won largely on the strength of his own relationship with Black voters, especially in South Carolina, knows as well as anyone.

This makes sense, I guess; it's just insane. It's insane that Kamala Harris is actually Positioned for Success to be the Democrat Party's nominee for president in 2024.

I mean, it's great for us.

The only thing that would be better for us is if the Great White Dope also ran -- Pete Bootyjudge, so beloved by the White Leftist Gentry class -- and turned the Democrat primary into a real race vs. race and class vs. class battle royale.

Last fall, a rumor started to spread within the West Wing. Some of Transportation Secretary Buttigieg's 2020 donors and fund-raisers had started to meet privately to debate his future and map out a possible path toward the presidency -- perhaps as early as the next election. The whispers were mostly true, if sometimes egregiously overstated.... As Insider prepared to reveal the meetings' existence in October, Buttigieg's staff warned the White House the story was coming, and some of his supporters went on record to clean up the mess: These donors were freelancing without his knowledge, and he had no thoughts of running for president.

Sure, sure. He's keeping in touch with his donors and his PAC is still accepting donations.


The article also notes that Elizabeth Warren is still running -- never stopped, in fact -- as is Amy Kobuchar and Cory Booker and Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna is somehow in the mix now too.

The article finishes up by making the riotous claim that those who know Biden best -- that is, the people most expected to lie for him -- are the most insistent that he's healthy as a horse and hasn't lost a step.

The article also revivifies the long-dead claim that his verbal struggles are just due to a "stutter."


The consensus of people who deal with Biden in person, from aides to journalists to senators, is that he has shown no signs of slowing down mentally and that the clips frequently circulated by right-wing media personalities of his momentarily struggling to speak are nothing new -- just examples of his lifelong stutter and his (long notorious within Washington) difficulty with teleprompters.

Weird how his "lifelong stutter" only showed itself when he hit the ripe old age of 76 and also never actually exhibits itself as a stutter at all, but rather as a slur or as saying the wrong thing or as making up completely invented nonsense words.

But never as an actual stutter with repeated syllables.

To think anything else, the Biden faithful argue, is to fall for Republican misinformation. To take one bad-faith example, Senator Tom Cotton recently tweeted a video of Biden stumbling badly over the word kleptocracy during an address about Ukraine. Biden closed his eyes and tried to recover, landing on "the guys who are the kleptocracies" and laughing ruefully. They were some of the only garbled moments in a long speech, but the video gathered more than 3.4 million views within four days.

Many of Biden's backers are taking solace in the idea that his own unpopularity is more structural than personal.

Fun fact: Biden cannot say the word "structural." He cannot say any word with multiple consonants in a row. He makes up a new word with fewer consonants. So he would say "structural" as "shructal" or something.

Because of his stutter, see.

My fear, and my prediction, actually, is that when Biden doesn't run -- and he won't -- we'll see a darkhorse billionaire enter the race. Maybe Bloomberg again. Maybe Bill Gates. Maybe that idiot from Starbucks.

I think people take false comfort in the idea that the left would never accept these arch capitalists as their standard-banners. First of all, the hard left has now fully fused with the neocon pseudoright; it's now accepted it is the party of the richest of the rich and the poorest of the poor. It makes no bones about the fact that it is the Party of Wealth. It's proud about that. It frequently brags about that.

The left is evolving a new catechism that works something like this: You're not really a plutocrat if you believe in global warming and a Woman's Right to Choose and that Trans Women Are Women.

Second of all, when the left is scared -- and they are very very scared of Trump, and just as scared of DeSantis -- they will run to any champion they think can save them.

They all hated Biden, too, or at least disliked him. But they thought he could beat the Bad Orange Man, so they got behind him. As Hillary told the Democrat troops in 2004, I think: You don't have to fall in love, you just have to fall in line.

And they will fall in line.

17 Bidenwas supposed to have already stepped back so that Harris could be the face of the admin. I think Buttegeig was made sec trans in prep for the VP slot. The problem is that neither is particularly competent, and Harris likely will not accept him since he would be a threat in 24.

33 For a Democrat to win the nomination, they only need to appeal to black voters. The states where you have "winner take all" delegates are all in high black Dem voter areas. The states where you have "proportional" delegates are all in high white Dem voter areas. Thus, as Bernie found out, you can't win only appealing to affluent liberal whites.

70 I think we automatically under estimate Kamala, if they could get Biden out and her in, it wouldn't be the "lay up" everyone assumes for Republicans. She's weak, but she's not Biden weak.

All you need is like a 45% approval rating and it's a jump ball who wins the White House.

Some "unknown" Democrat Governor would be who I fear the most coupled with what Trump does in 2024.

Not sure who it would be. Maybe a Governor, Senator...who knows? But they have been drinking the Kool-Aid too long, and there will be a backlash inside the party if the Obama/ValJar puppet masters keep pushing their agenda.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, >>>or acted as President<<<, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.

Posted by: Colorado Alex in Exile at May 25, 2022 05:36 PM (8FcHK)

I've made the case here a couple of times that the GOP would be wise to go in with her on that. It would get rid of Biden, and it would automatically make Harris the most hated figure in American History since Benedict Arnold. The Left will despise her for doing it, but I think her hunger for the top job is so great that she'd do it anyways.

all in all, if it happened it would be the literal death of the Democrat Party for decades to come.

Historians are convinced that's exactly what Mrs. Wilson did for the last 18 months of Woodrow's Presidency. Everyone in DC worked to hide how sick he really was - just like everyone at the top knew that FDR was dying when he was renominated in '44. They just thought they could keep him propped up long enough to finish the war.

I still think that the original intent was for Biden to lose. They expected it to be close, but Trump would pull out a narrow win even while the House and Senate were firmly in Dem hands. In many ways that would have been the ideal situation, as the Dems would have stymied Trump for four years, while fundraising off of the hysteria over him.

Instead, on election night they realized with horror that he would not only win, but might pull the GOP to control of the House, which would be a vindication for Trumpism. Since they couldn't do anything about the House, the word went out to cheat like hell.

-------------------------

Pennsylvania is a disaster and always will be. We have lots, genuinely lots, of really good people in the legislature, and a majority in both houses, but for the statewide races, we can barely win even in a fair fight. Pittsburgh is solidly blue, with lots of old folks who believe the Dems are going to get the steel mills to reopen (as they've pointlessly believed for 40 years now because that's what the unions tell them to believe). Philadelphia is the very model of a third-world shithole, and they always manage to get 147% turnout in every district every time. Strange how that works.

Those of us in the rural areas of Pennsylvania are just waiting for it to collapse completely. Kind of sad that Mad Max is our best-case scenario here.

208 re 185: actual email from bETO this morning:

There will be more Uvaldes, El Pasos, Sutherland Springs, and Santa Fes until we decide to put the lives of our kids ahead of the political careers of gun lobby politicians like Greg Abbott.

He holds the highest office in the state. He has had seven years to save lives but has chosen to make matters worse - by rejecting universal background checks, by opposing red flag laws, by signing permitless carry, and by doing nothing to protect our communities from gun violence.

The only way to change this is by winning political power so that we can protect the lives of those in our lives. We win in Texas and it becomes possible to stop this bloodshed. If we fail in this election, then the slaughter of children in Uvalde becomes our future.

247 They didn't expect it to be close, they expected an (electoral) blowout.

Again, which country are we talking about? How is having something "to run on" even a factor here any more?

What did Biden "run on"? Well, what were the topics of his limp press releases, as he had almost no campaign. In the jaw-droppingly ridiculous "debates", he said he'd shut down the oil industry.

Dem candidates, and many GOPers, don't have to "run on" something actually relevant to public policy. And they can adopt stunningly unpopular positions. Doesn't matter. And not because of cheating.

251 actual email from bETO this morning:

There will be more Uvaldes, El Pasos, Sutherland Springs, and Santa Fes until we decide to put the lives of our kids ahead of the political careers of gun lobby politicians like Greg Abbott.

He holds the highest office in the state. He has had seven years to save lives but has chosen to make matters worse - by rejecting universal background checks, by opposing red flag laws, by signing permitless carry, and by doing nothing to protect our communities from gun violence.

The only way to change this is by winning political power so that we can protect the lives of those in our lives. We win in Texas and it becomes possible to stop this bloodshed. If we fail in this election, then the slaughter of children in Uvalde becomes our future.

Beto has basically promised door to door Ar-15 gun confiscation (literally) and I bet most Republicans will barely mention it.

I said at the time that Stacey would have been a hell of lot stronger VP candidate then Harris. (even though I despise her) She's evil, but she does know what she's doing. It's fascinating that the internal dynamics of the Dem Party shut her out. Personally, I think it's Chinese money and connections that sealed the deal for Kamala.

He's running the country, like he's a California or New York governor with no opposition whatsoever. He doesn't compromise...he's barely flailing as he fails. He's just going to go commie, no matter what. The country's being invaded and no one cares.

Oh, they'll lose in the midterms? So...? He still preznint, isn't he? What's going to change with a GOP congress? The GOP has no dick or balls or competence to do anything to stop him. We saw this in 2010 when the GOP congress gave Obama continued power to spend and do other things.

She's smart enough (or her advisors were) to know that there's no way any actual solutions to the border crisis would pass muster with the Admin or the party base. This was a trap.

Of course, a savvier politician would turn it against the WH. Cut a deal with the GOP and a few moderate Dems, and present it as a grand bipartisan bill.

343 seen at zero hedge:

When news hit that Elon Musk had filed a new 13G (pardon) 13D in Twitter, many immediately expected some dramatic twist in this ongoing soap opera, like Musk was pulling the offer because he was shocked to learn that spambots make up 90% of the traffic (with liberal echo chamber bluechecks accounting for the remaining 10%)

That wasn't the case, however, and instead Musk, who last month announced he would buy Twitter for $44 billion, a price he is feverishly trying to renegotiate lower, announced he was increasing the equity component of his bid to $33.5 billion.

Everyone is all giddy about this, but it's not a good thing. It's nice for a homeowner, sure. But have your sons and daughters wages increased 40% over the last two years? No?

Think about a kid starting out. Housing is unattainable. Sure yankees can buy up all the property in the South, but that only lasts so long. A 28 year old married couple used to find a $250K starter home in decent locations, but what used to be $110K homes in bad locations are now those $250K homes. And it's still what they can afford.

This is not a good thing.

A 28 year old married couple used to find a $250K starter home in decent locations, but what used to be $110K homes in bad locations are now those $250K homes. And it's still what they can afford.

The leftosphere seem to have no capacity for understanding that the reason I (and I believe most) who loved Trump as President was because of our love for our country. And during his candidacy and Presidency, Trump seemed to be the indispensable champion for an America First agenda, that was (and is) incredibly needed, and about the only public voice defending our history, traditions and way of life against radical assault.

But to the left it's all personalization all the time. They are so much more "against Trump!" than I ever think about him. This is not the mealy-mouthed, BS "he may be a horrible person, but a good President." I think in many ways he's actually a very decent, admirable man. But I just never thought about Trump the man, who I 100% supported, so much as the left seems to obsess about him in loathing.

Some other bozo who, like Bloomberg, doesn't have lots of practice in the public eye, and doesn't have the "no men" working for him who would actually work him over in debate practice, and so get him capable of handling the challenge?

Which of those left wing billionaires have the moral courage and humility to go through actual prep work, where their biggest issues are brought out and slammed at them?

Bloomberg didn't, and he actually had political experience. But he got ripped to shreds in his two debates, because he didn't have anyone working for him at a high level who was willing to do what was necessary to get him ready.

I get that they say this stuff to rile up their npc army but it's creepy that they drank their own Kool aid. They really believe they took down Hitler 2 and that any behavior was justified to get him away from the white house.

This is why we can't just surrender the media and think we will coexist with these people. They have never heard any of these narratives challenged. Like any cult they created an echo chamber and just riled each other up into treasonous actions.

While we are doing much better, we are still not taking our perilous situation seriously enough. These people will cheer us being sent to camps because they never bothered to question their own Kool aid.

I hope God delivers us from these vipers because I know Mitch McConnell sure as hell won't.

As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer. His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.

I'm glad he said it. Maybe now other people of color (listen up Hispanics) know exactly where they stand.

567 If he's all that popular now among Democrats, then why did he do so poorly at the start of the 2020 Democratic primaries? It was a crowded field at that time, of course, but even then Biden was the first choice of maybe 20% of the primary voters until others started dropping out. Further, how many delegates did Kamala Harris get in the same primary season? I thought it was a big fat zero but maybe I was wrong. She was not only on nobody's first choice list, she never made it out of Miss Personality category.

Strange how that stutter works. Perhaps the WH should appoint a permanent stutter helper who can clarify nonsensical phrases coming out of Corn Pop's mouth, things like "dog faced pony soldier". That's not a stutter, that is political Tourette syndrome.

The conservatives can win in 2022 and 2024 but it's going to take some smarts and determination and a commitment to conservative ideals. Don't tell me, I know, but I can dream can't I?

Funny how I come to this site the most lately. I used to march over to National Review back when William Buckley's ghost still hung around.
