    No point in doing it this early.

    I suggest that it is not too early, simply because Biden is so vulnerable health wise, and the country seems to be run by advisors now anyway!

    Can you imagine a republican candidate, or even Trump trying to steal a March on the next election? Who else could the democrats field apart from the VP?

    There are many good and viable candidates, many of them part of the recent Dem weeding-out sessions. Joe was chosen because he brings stability, is a known entity and isn't 'radical' (US style which is not radical anywhere else).

    I'd probably add Newsom to the field

    Th reason I ask for alternates is because I don’t know of any. I know why Biden was picked, but I’m not aware of the VPs suitability index, or any other possible who might decide to run.
    My knowledge on this subject is sketchy, but I do find the machinations of prospective candidates fascinating. If the VP is not the front runner, why not? Hence my question.

    A fair question . . . she didn't do too well in the selection process, but is a) female and b) not Caucasian. Both help with votes

    When the time comes for the Democrats to offer a candidate for the 2024 race, if that candidate is not Biden, that I am sure will not be. If Haris is considered for that Nomination expect Harris to experience a transformation.
    At this point she needs to appear competent, and involved, but not so much that she takes away from Biden's ability peruse his addenda now.
    It is a balance that both Parties try to maintain with their VP.
    The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

    I have two concerns. Biden is old, white and male. His health in a stressful job is making me question his suitability to last the first term, and he has been quoted that he want to run again if he lasts the first 4 years and wins next time around.

    My second concern is the Harris suitability to step up if Biden falters, and the fact that she said she does not want to be President?

    Joe seems to be managed by WH staff, rather than him leading the country. What happens next? Am I the only one concerned about this?

    It looks to be a competent team, so no worries there.

    Much better than the horror show of grifters, liars, cheats, and proto-fascists that Trump appointed.

    Biden’s approval hovers below 50%

    Chris Kahn
    REUTERS POLLING EDITOR

    OCT. 21, 2021
    Less than half of Americans approve of President Joe Biden’s performance in office, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll.
    The national poll, conducted Oct. 20-21, found that 46% of U.S. adults approved of Biden’s performance in office, while 48% disapproved and the rest were not sure. Biden’s overall popularity has hovered under 50% since August. At the same point in Donald Trump’s presidency, about 35% of Americans approved of his performance in office, while 60% disapproved. The Reuters/Ipsos poll is conducted online in English throughout the United States. The latest poll gathered responses from 1,005 adults in total including 435 Democrats and 406 Republicans. It has a credibility interval, a measure of precision, of 4 percentage points.

    He says he is going to run so that he wont be a lame duck president, He is using the prospect that he might run again as leverage. much like trump is doing to raise funds . All this nonsense about his mental equity is for the consumption of the feeble minded. Over 20% of the Senate is over 70 years old, and no one is concerned about their mental acuity.
    Many of them same age as Biden and older, and most of them Republicans.

    -Harris is a very smart lady , smarter than most people in this forum, you don't become AG of California, United States Senator, A presidential candidate and Vice President of The United States by being a dummy. If she is a dummy, what does that make us?
    -Biden the president of the United states, and not your pal "joe" would have you for lunch in any debate. He is certainly not managed but rather than managing the talent that he has hired. The job of the President is to hire professionals and delegate responsibility, not to micromanage a bunch of armature's like trump did.
    But No you are not the only one concerned about this,there are many other who bought into the oppositions narrative.

    She sajd it herself, before losing the 2016 nomination to run for president.

    The team may be competent, but they were not elected. Biden was.

    I should inform you and others, that my concerns are to avoid Trump or another tool exposing loopholes to regain the WH in 2024.

    Let me see if I understand this correctly. She was running for president but said she did not want to be president?
    Can you please provide a link where you read this to this innovative presidential campaign strategy .

    Smart but evil.

    No defending of Proposition 8( Until she flip flopped when the polls went against her) and kept many wrongfully convicted people in jail without the ability of a new trial. Who does that sort of thing?

    Bring in Tulsi Gabbard as the Dem nominee. I wouldn't kick her out of bed if she was to break wind...

    all these thing are arguable , but what is not is Harris suitability to step up if Biden falters,as switch said.

    "Biden’s Thursday night CNN town hall will bring him to 16 interviews total — versus 82 by Trump, 131 by Obama" at the same time in their terms.

    He's avoided regular interviews from the press and the poor guy struggled with anderson cooper tossing him softballs.

    Biden is 10000x a better and more stable president than the cheeto that lost the election fair and square. The orange moron was the most corrupt and incompetent president in modern American history. I hope he runs in 2024 because he will guarantee the Democratic Party a win.

    Well, that's a ways off.

    One thing almost for sure the Dems will get crushed in the midterms next year — losing the house and possibly even the senate.

    According to polls, independents in swing areas aren't happy with Biden and the Dems' perfomance.

    It doesn't matter who the Dems run in 2024. The Republicans are busy correcting the errors of their last coup attempt by changing state electoral laws to have the power to decertify the results, and submit their own electoral college. Gonna be a wild one.
