Many Biden voters have already checked the box for DeSantis 2024 and are laughing at the idea of AOC or Gavin Newsom being the other choice.
Biden will be the nominee in 2024. He’s easily our best shot. You’ll either get Trump or DeSantis. I actually don’t think either of them will beat Joe unless it’s true that our entire financial system is about collapse thanks to short sellers. Unless that’s true, the economy should remain stable and it’s hard to lose re-election with a stable economy.
Unless Biden has a health emergency (which he isn't in and there are no indications that he will), then he will run, and unless we are in a deep recession and/or are in an unpopular war, then he will win, and if Trump is the GOP nominee, Biden will win regardless.
Too many positives in Biden's favor if you look at the 14 Keys to the White House (and you should).
I don't see a 90 year old man with the charisma of a wet fart beating DeSantis when he's got a 35% approval rating and 90% of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction.
When does he turn 90?
1) He's not 90.
2) He has a higher approval rating than that moron stated.
3) Less than 90% of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction.
4) The things that know-nothing mentioned don't factor in to Presidential elections.
Well, Rasmussen DID say Biden v. Trump in 2020 was a "near tie" at the end of the polling, and then Biden won nationally by 4.5 percentage points, so lets not get too excited about Rasmussen.
The election was decided by like 70,000 votes.
Let's not be completely ignorant about how American elections work.
Meh. You go ahead and try to feel good about that. That's not how polls are geared...they are either geared toward popular vote or Electoral College predicted wins, and in both of those ways, Biden wiped the floor with Trump, and if Trump is the nominee in 2024 (I do not THINK he will be), then Biden will do it again and will win by an even bigger margin.
on polls....it's true that because trump has taught the rubes not to trust anybody but him, they don't answer pollsters' questions. So rubes have been undercounted in polls.
will be interesting to see if that continues...and equally importantly, if the furious women of the US make polls even less accurate by showing up to vote more than they used to.

Biden has so much more charism than that. He didn't get to where he was because he's some type of genius political calculator. All he has to do is stand up there and say "is anyone else tired of this guy" about Trump, and "this guy is just another Trump" about DeSantis. He nailed it last time and he can do it again.
He hid in his house in 2020. When he campaigned he got 15 people in parking lots.
The man is about as ingenuine as it gets.
He won in 2020 because of COVID and the media 24/7 war on Trump. And he barely won.
Now that he has a record to run on he will fare even worse. 28% of Democrats want the guy impeached.
I honestly cannot fathom how anyone can see Biden as anything other than a disaster unless they are trolling. He is hapless and uninspiring as well as being susceptible to the demands of Pelosi, Pocahontas, Bernie and AOC. His son's laptop provides indisputable evidence of profiteering on his name.

He is not Trump. That's the most important thing to remember.

Just curious where you get this information. Is this you projecting your own feelings on 'many Biden voters' or did you get this as a statistic from somewhere.
I'm a Biden voter that is of the opinion that DeSantis is more dangerous than Trump. His plan is to penalize banks for taking into consideration the environment or wellbeing of humanity while investing. Maybe this is crazy but I care about people and the environment more than profits.
DeSantis is a POS and has shown some despot tendencies, so we should always keep an eye on him, but NO ONE is more dangerous that Donald Trump.
1) Donald Trump is a fool. Ron DeSantis is no fool.
2) Donald Trump is a criminal. So far, DeSantis has not shown himself to be a criminal.
3) Donald Trump invited and incited an insurrection designed to keep himself in power even though he lost the election. I do not believe DeSantis would do that.
4) Donald Trump STOLE classified documents and then refused to return them and concealed them and lied that he did so. Hopefully he will be punished for that behavior as a deterrent for anyone else to ever think of doing that, but even if he isn't, I do not think DeSantis would be that lawless.
5) Trump is absolutely amoral. I do not believe DeSantis is. DeSantis IS a POS though.
6) Trump is a narcissist. DeSantis is not a narcissist.

We shall see.
As I have said many times, midterms are an uphill battle for the party in power, and even though this time there are things that are helping Democrats (Trump factor and Roe v. Wade decision), it is still an uphill battle for Democrats.
It has been my experience that women don't like to answer polls. There are several women in my life whom I know have refused to do so...all Democrats.
Those women?:
4 that wanna own me
2 that wanna stone me
1 says she's a friend of mine
Come 2024, right the now the 13 Keys favor Biden. We will need to be in a bad recession and/or be involved in an unpopular war for a Republican to win. If Trump is the opponent, he will lose no matter what.

All he has to do is stand up there and say "is anyone else tired of this guy" about Trump, and "this guy is just another Trump" about DeSantis. He nailed it last time and he can do it again.

1) During a pandemic like we had that mostly killed older people, Biden should NOT have been out on the campaign trail.
2) We don't elect Presidents by how big their rallies are, so no one should give a sh!t that responsible Democrats stayed home during a raging pandemic.
3) COVID DID play a role in helping Biden win. No doubt about that. It helped kill the economy, and people vote with their wallets. Trump also made himself look the fool (because he is one) by minimizing COVID as Americans were dying left and right. BUT, the biggest fact there was how COVID affected the economy. You Republicans won't tell the truth about anything. I will. If COVID had not hit and killed the economy, it is very possible that Trump would have won a second term. I am THAT confident in the stupidity of too many Americans. The irony is that had Trump won, he wouldn't he in hot water of Jan. 6 and then the stealing of these classified documents. Now, he might have done something else criminal, because criminals gonna crime, but it wouldn't be these two things...wouldn't be the fake Official Election Defense Fund either that the DOJ is looking into Trump for now too. Good Lord this guy is such a criminal.
4) I think your definition of "barely" needs revisited. Biden beat Trump by the same EC vote count that Trump beat Hillary by, and Trump declared it the biggest EC victory ever (he was wrong of course, but he DID say that). Biden also got more votes than any President in history and beat Trump by over 7 MILLION votes. Yeah, go tell the 70,000 votes to someone who gives a sh!t. Trump lost several states he won in 2016 (a vote of ZERO confidence), and he lost the House and the Senate for Republicans too...VERY ACTIVELY losing the Senate.
5) Where did you get this 28% of Democrats want Biden impeached from? What are we to impeach him for? 9 MILLION+ jobs created? Lots of historic legislation passed? Booting out a despot?
6) Biden's record is quite good. That's PART of the reason that his approval rating has risen so much recently. The other part of that is that the leader of your party (yes, your party) continues to show he's a criminal.

Yep. The Trumpers don't get it. We voted AGAINST Trump, not FOR Biden. I know they get hard or wet when they think of Trump, but we Democrats don't view our political leaders in that way. Trump is a serial lying, stupid, lazy, sexist, racist, egomaniacal, narcissist, criminal, POS human being, and we voted him out. Biden could play shuffle board all day for all I care (but he HAS done more...MUCH more). We were in a crisis in America with Trump as President. Biden then won and booted Trump out. Crisis averted.

agreed that voting against the other guy is a giant motivation in politics...not great.
but I think this exchange highlights a big difference between D and R.
Rs love reagan and trump and putin...'big men' who trample and shout and dominate the conversation. The same reason tribes might choose large aggressive men as chiefs. Rs love order and hierarchy and they think the bigger in size and personality you are, the better.
Ds are more interested in actual government....passing laws, helping people, rethinking things, being kind, being smart, following the rules, etc.
In that sense, Ds voted for biden because he fits that mode. A good, kind decent man who knows how to get laws passed that intend to help people who need it and make changes. He's succeeded beyond Ds dreams that way.
But no, he's not a putin/NK /authoritarian leader so the Rs don't see him as having any value at all. That's just how the rubes look at the world. Not great.
