Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There are potentials. Eg. Gavin Newsom. He did well on Hannity.
It's too late for him to become the candidate, but perhaps he'll do as vice president.
Statistically there's something like a 50% chance that Biden dies within the next few years. No one lives forever. There needs to be a good backup.
The time for those "potentials" to run was months ago. Biden is going to be the nominee. That's how the cookie crumbles.
Also, there's only been one poll about a potential matchup between Newson and Trump, and granted it is from Fox, but Trump wins handily.

Biden is currently 81. I googled and there's something like a 10% chance he dies within the year. Similar number for Trump obviously, given he's fat, angry and doesn't exercise. Unfortunately God is dead, or I'd be able to factor in thoughts and prayers too.
They need to have good VP picks though.
My apologies. Unless it's he literally can't run for president, Biden is going to be the nominee.
I thought that was implicit. Obviously if he can't run, he won't be the nominee.
