but he would have to figure out how to dispose of Harris.
I think Emhoff would do some wheeling and dealing on her behalf.
I believe Harris has made it clear to anyone with a hint of decision making power that if Biden abdicates, anyone who stands in her way would be a misogynist racist anti-American. And she'd go scorched earth on that.
She would need to be offered big money and some title like Chancellor of UC Berkeley or similar to exit stage left gracefully.

Not until 2028 and then we are all done for. *

And you split the black vote. She's also just bad at campaigning and seen as weak. I think Newsome is too slimey to pull it off.

Booker loves the camera. Would be a great talk show host

That said, I would rather his self-absorbed goofiness than Harris'. So, I could live with it.

I really don't want Trump in office, and puppet master or not, I don't really don't think Biden has it in him.
