The CNN poll also asked voters about potential replacements for Biden. Harris fared the best, trailing Trump by only two points, 47 percent to 45 percent, within the margin of error.
Several other prominent Democrats outperformed Biden in polling, including Govs. Gavin Newsom (Calif.) and Gretchen Whitmer (Mich.), as well as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The Biden campaign has quickly shut down any notion that the president would leave the 2024 race.
That’s not a defense, it’s an excuse. You’re picking the potato because the alternative is much worse. That’s not a resounding endorsement of potatoes, it’s an acknowledgement of reality.
Wouldn’t we be better off if he decides to have his next mashed potato serving on his own terms, and let Kamala take over? She seems to be the type of woman who forced her step-kids to eat their veggies, just what this country needs.
This country isn’t gonna elect a black woman president, yet.
That’s what they said in 2008, too. (Well, the black part at least.) Give the country some more credit.
The stars aren’t aligned in the way they were in '08. And the black part is less of a hurdle than the woman part, honestly.
I’m just defending my decision to vote for Biden, not defending Biden himself. Get therapy.
