It’s interesting that they had 11 candidates and Kamala was 11th. 🤔

This guy is the perfect encapsulation of the blindness of the mainstream consensus. Klobuchar and Buttigieg were so roundly rejected by the democratic electorate, Klobuchar especially, and yet he thinks they left the primary in the best position? It's lunacy. No matter how disinterested the voters are, no matter how badly they're rejected by them, he just feels in his gut that they're the best because they're dry, over coached, and offer no policy of consequence or interest. They have no ideas for the future, and what's worse, they aren't ancient like Joe Biden.

In 2020 he had Bernie 6th behind Kamala, Beto, and Booker. How does he still have a job?

[BosoxSellout]

Can we for the love of god, find someone not in their 60 or 70 or 80s to run the country and at least act like they have some pride in their voice?

[MartinPittBradley]

Harris would do as well in an election as she did in the primaries

[jodiedennis]

Gracious. This group seems predictable. How about Porter/Fetterman. They just popped in my mind. Dems need to fire up and get aggressive.

[louclarkson]

Yall voted for him and you're already measuring his coffin.

[davidhaskelmoore]

🤣 He's so popular and doing such a good job that they are already planning his replacement one year into his presidency.

CNN 2021: Here's 11 people who can replace Biden 😆

[datroofboa]

So sad that these candidates are all we have 🤦🏽‍♂️

[justinmiller]

Before this even starts, I am like 90% confident that all of them will be way worse than just sticking with Biden.

[thealmighty]

This is getting very NBA/NFL drafty lol. And we’re talking about the most powerful position in the country.

[cynthiacole]

Let's just focus on the present for now. Between now and 2024, many things can change.

[jackconnolly]

Biden was a temporary solution because we needed a WIN. 
Now it's time to prepare a great candidate/ leader for 2024.

[SuzanneWho]

Anyone looking at Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse? There are others like him who take no prisoners. We need someone tough and aggressive to put this country back on track.
Put Whitehouse with Katie Porter as VP and you’d have a helluva team.

Will Biden run for reelection in 2024? -Chris

[richardcoreno]

The Kamala Harris 2020 presidential primary campaign was a to chaotic staff and rudderless leadership (sounds familiar at this point) -- she would have difficulty gaining the nomination if running unopposed.

[guaromiami]

I can always count on Chris Cillizza to bring up very interesting scenarios that are 100% sure to never happen.
