Yes but you are not suggesting Biden runs again? I meant now, who looks like they could beat the Trump machine, possibly Gavin Newsom but not popular outside of Cali.

Surely you can appreciate that Biden was an abnormally weak candidate (how many times did he try to win on his own merits, only to just squeak in on a tide of anti-Trump voters?). Pretty much anyone will be able to beat the GOP candidate at the next election. And it will likely be the biggest landslide since Reagan. Only MAGA thinks they are popular right now, but back in the real world they are deeply, deeply unpopular. And you know they are going to double down and make it even worse over the next couple years.

No one thought Biden could beat Trump the first time. No one thought Trump could beat Clinton. No one thought Obama could win the primaries.

Things happen.
