Three months ago in our quarterly list of the top 10 most likely Democratic candidates for president in 2024, we changed things up. For a while, we had been ranking only the candidates not named Joe Biden. In the seemingly unlikely scenario he didn’t run again, the idea was, here’s who would be next in line.

[Snip]

10. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
9. Roy Cooper (North Carolina governor)
8. Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan governor)
7. Gavin Newsom (California governor)
6. Bernie Sanders
5. Elizabeth Warren
4. Amy Klobuchar
3. Kamala D. Harris
2. Pete Buttigieg
1. President Biden (Brandon)

Actually most likely chances to win Presidential election:
1. Michelle Obama
2. Michelle Obama
3. Michelle Obama
4. Michelle Obama
5. Michelle Obama
6. Michelle Obama
7. Michelle Obama
8. Michelle Obama
9. Michelle Obama
10. Michelle Obama

Most likely to be Vice President:
1. Barack Obama
2. Barack Obama
3. Barack Obama
4, Barack Obama
5. Barack Obama
6. Barack Obama
7. Barack Obama
8. Barack Obama
9. Barack Obama
10. Barack Obama

Quite a clown car.

This is the best they’ve got…

[DoodleDawg]

Kind of a thin bench. But really other than DeSantis who is there to motivate the Republicans if Trump doesn’t run?

[DoodleDawg]

Manchin doesn’t have a chance.

[Travis McGee]

[Boomer]

Everyone on that list is a filthy hot mess of a Marxist dumpster fire on steroids. Not a single actual human among them. Slithering Trash.

[gbaker]

I still think Michael Avenatti is the perfect dem candidate - assuming he’s not in jail then.

[Ouderkirk]

they should stop drinking bong water

9. Roy Cooper (North Carolina governor)

If the Democrats were smart, they'd nominate Cooper but they're not so they won't.

[VanShuyten]

Tulsi!

[mware]

If Harold Ford Jr. was on the list I would be worried.

“If the Democrats were smart, they’d nominate Cooper but they’re not so they won’t.”

If Coop is a white guy in a Democrat Primary, all I can say is:

“Good luck”

The democrats are a female plus grievance groups orientated party, now.

[MinorityRepublican]

The democrats are a female plus grievance groups orientated party, now.

Correction. Female trans gay plus.

[unclebankster]

“Correction. Female trans gay plus.”

Thanks,

I was feeling lazy, so I shortened “the list.”

[FLT-bird]

Nope. He’s gay. Blacks won’t vote for gays. That’s why Buttplug has no shot.

[Drew68]

The democrats are a female plus grievance groups orientated party, now.

Yep. There's no way the party will allow two straight white guys in a row without an ugly fight.

[MinorityRepublican]

Yep. There's no way the party will allow two straight white guys in a row without an ugly fight.

Kamala Harris - failure to launch. Mayor Pete? Too queer. If they want to win, it'll be a straight guy. They don't have an Obama in the wings.

[nwrep]

Isn’t that because in 2020, anyone could mail-in their ballots without any checks, whereas before, that was not allowed?

[Reily]

Agree!
She will immediately vault past ButtGiggly and the others.
I think she’s on the list (higher the AOC!) even if she loses.

Manchin thinks he should be in the list and will try to be. He will soon be busy to try and make up for his last vote.

Newsom is more likely to get the nomination than Sanders or Warren. He's relatively young, not associated with the socialist brand, and more likely to charm big business and suburban Democrats. African-Americans may not be very much more enthusiastic about voting for him than for Buttigieg, though. He's unlikely to win.

I don't see Cooper getting very far. If a White Southern man ever gets the nomination again, it's more likely to be a senator who's made connections in Washington than a governor, still involved in down home politics.
