Biden and aides tell allies he is running in 2024 amid growing Democratic fears
Is Biden going to barnstorm the country, hold rallies, answer questions, and generally enthuse people in a year that is already likely to favor Republicans? Consider me extremely doubtful, given how incapable he appears even while being protected within the confines of the presidency. All that gets stripped away when the horse race starts, and the contrast between Biden and someone like Ron DeSantis will be massive.
But what choice do Democrats have? Kamala Harris is an absolutely horrific choice to carry their banner forward. She is nakedly ambitious, deeply inauthentic, and rivals a root canal in the hearts and minds of most Americans. You can sense that many party insiders want no part of her as the 2024 nominee, but they also know that throwing Harris under the bus would dramatically damage their voting coalition. While most Americans can’t stand Harris, a majority of Democrats love her, and that complicates matters. There can be no open primary in 2024 without nuking the party.

The message is aimed in part at tamping down the assumption among many Democrats that Biden may not seek reelection given his age and waning popularity, while also effectively freezing the field for other potential presidential hopefuls.
- sorry Kamala, you were already President for a day, and all you did was SET KYLE RITTENHOUSE FREE.
