Does anyone honestly see Joe Biden still in charge by the next election?

I dont see Joe being able to find his way back home form the local Walmart within 6 months.
Much less run for another term!
Looks like Kamala's still as hopeless running her office as she was running her campaign.
She would be a disaster.

Democrats are going to need a Plan B. Or maybe it's Plan C.

This will become an increasingly pertinent consideration from this time next year. If the Democrats try to parachute her into the nomination in 2024, it could be an act of spectacular self-sabotage, effectively handing Trump a shot at another term - or another Republican if Trump doesn't run.
Senior Democrats don't reckon she can maintain the Biden coalition. Trump would be licking his lips.
That detail comes in at 2.00...

She's already a disaster. At least she is taking the shine of Joe's performances. What a double act!

It will be interesting to see polling in 2022 going into 2023. If Harris is unpopular, it may convince Biden to seek re-election.
I wonder if there were plans to this effect already. Kneecap Harris by giving her impossible portfolios so Biden can turn around in 2023 and say "I have to run again or else we risk Trump returning to the WH". Very House of Cards.

No way on earth will Biden be president by this time next year, let alone 2024

Can Bernie just run again... 
Nah, but in all seriousness although I would love someone from the left, Dems need to go for someone from the center, in order to continue to make gains in TX and FL, because once those go blue it's game over for GOP

Not sure about that.
Biden’s polling numbers are outstanding. He may as well stand again. Reagan was falling apart in his second term but would’ve won if he could’ve run again in 1988.

It would be nice, but unfortunately there’s a huge gap between the too old Bernie and the too young AOC. While there are some lower profile left-wingers around, they’d be coming in with the national profile of Bernie in 2016 rather than in 2020, so there’d be a lot of work to do.

T Money got the most votes of any Republican in history, innit? Biden has just been Republican lite, I doubt his progressive base are satisfied. I dare say Trump runs again to glorious victory.
I dunno. Biden is pretty spry, and definitely more with it mentally than Mr. Neurosyphilis who preceded him. Popes regularly run the Catholic Church well into their 80s, Queen Elizabeth is in her 90s, so why shouldn't Biden still be able to be doing the job in 2024? He'd be 81 or 82 I think. Not so ancient these days.

So what? Was he running against all the other Republican candidates in history?
You realise that vote totals in elections generally go up every four years, right? That's the overall trajectory. So yeah, of course Trump got more votes than George W. Bush. No kidding. You say it like it's some badge of honour but it's to be expected.
Do you know Biden got more votes than any candidate in history, of either party? OMG massive!
What do you mean by that exactly?
Biden has a progressive base?
Are you going for a record of how many dumb, baseless comments you can cram into a single short post?

I strongly supported Biden over Trump at the election, but I highly doubt that Biden will run for president in 2024. Surely even he will give it away at that age. Very good points posted above: anointing Kamala Harris with no meaningful competition could backfire on her. However I cannot see the Democrat establishment allowing anyone else to get the 2024 nomination.
I'm smelling that Harris' lower popularity than Biden's, coupled with all the nutcases hating everything he stands for and thinking Trump won 2020, might see Trump returned to the White House at the election.

I don't really know much about her, so could anyone tell me what is Kamala Harris' experiences and achievments? For me it seems she was more a symbolic selection to appeal to the minority vote rather than on merrit

She was a DA and AG in California before becoming a senator. It's not like she isn't accomplished but whether she's got what it takes to be president remains a massive question. Her own campaign in 2020 was a complete debacle. So yes her selection as VP was certainly a calculation to bolster the ticket and broaden its appeal but that's not surprising. It's probably true of most VP selections. When Obama was running in 2008, he picked Biden at least partly to reassure white working-class voters.

If there is polling in 2022-23 showing Trump beating Harris in a 2024 election, there will have to be a rethink. It could become a total shitfight. At that stage, it might not seem unreasonable for Biden to saddle up again.

Is he in charge now? 1,000 deaths a day from COVID, Afghanistan just had the government toppled, and he is on holidays playing golf.
I thought that is why Trump had to go?

People here complain when Dan misses 1 day in 100. There they give interviews on the golf course and noone cares.
Inheriting a problem doesnt mean he doesnt need a solution.
