... for whatever reason, name one Democratic politician who can beat Trump or DeSantis, and how disappointed will one be to find out their preferred candidate is not even running?
If, and that's an iffy if, President Biden does not run again, there is one potential candidate who will be romped in a general election. I hope it does not go that way.
