I don’t understand how anyone thinks an 81 year old person should be leader of a nation. And will they ever produce good stuff instead of what they’ve been trying and failing to do for so many years and it hurts the people.

When will they help the citizens instead of funding the military and fancy projects that waste money, cutting taxes for billionaires and raising them for the poor, cut social security, cut medicare, cut this, cut that, more money to the military.

So messed up.

I don’t know good places to find accurate news.

    Focusing purely on the question in the headline, a party usually doesn’t put forward other candidates when the president runs for a second term. Incumbents often have certain advantages.

      And I would guess if Biden dies before then or has some major issue then they might use Gavin Newsom.

        If he dies, it’s Kamala Harris. There’s no time to get every Democrat behind any other option, and she polled better than Biden in that big NYT poll anyway.

          Has she actually done much of anything at all? I mean I know you don’t normally hear much about what the vp is up to, but I really haven’t heard anything about Harris.

        they might use Gavin Newsom.

        I’d say he’s too far to the left for the party, but not after his veto spree earlier this year.

          That veto spree was an attempt to discredit him among liberals and it looks like it worked. Maybe it was an attempt to make him look more conservative, idk. He didn’t veto those bills because he disagreed with the ideas or didn’t essentially support them - he didn’t think they methods and details in the bills were sufficient.
