Any Democrat over any Republican of course, but a lot of talk lately about President Biden stepping aside.
How about Michelle Obama? If she wants it, she'd be perfect.

(3,893 posts)Newsome and Pritzker would be right behind Pete on my list. Fortunately, 3 others will get scratched from my wish list once they win their elections in November. (Stacey, Val and Beto)

I adore Michelle Obama but if she doesn't want to run, we should put our dreams away or maybe settle for another bright black woman...um, Kamala Harris?

I dont consider Michelle Obama qualified to be President. Not that I dont like her and I think shed have a real chance at winning, I just dont see the experience or governing ability.

(2,673 posts)Gavin Newsom, he's not shy about taking the fight to the GQP, and is an imposing presence compared to both the ricketty Trump and the evil, overweight dwarf DeSantis.

Biden is dealing with more profound crises than any president in my memory.
- Ukraine war
- Covid
- Inflation caused by Covid and the war
- International famines
- Insurrection and trials
- Online smear campaigns
- Immigration influx
- Global warming being strongly felt in the south
- Rising gun violence
- Rising fascism
He did not cause, and he cannot cure these problems on his own, or probably in his lifetime. He deserves our support in this time of crisis, not contemplating his replacement.
No new and less experienced person will step in to save us miraculously. We are in it for the long haul. We need unity among Democrats.
