CNN Worries About Biden’s Age and Popularity, Drops Names of 11 Candidates to Replace Him in 2024

The next presidential election might be almost three years away, but for Democrats, it’s already time to worry.

The aging, inept Democratic president in the White House is finishing a first year in office marked by disaster at home and abroad and has polling numbers to show it; his vice president has even lower approval ratings than he does, and anyone watching American politics with even casual interest anticipates a well-deserved bloodbath for the Democratic Party in next year’s midterms.

As bad as that appears, when one of CNN’s most prominent commentators took a look at the party’s presidential bench — as possible replacements for President Joe Biden on the 2024 ticket — it looks a whole lot worse.

Spinning off a New York Times report published Sunday about the potential presidential maneuverings by ambitious Democrats, Chris Cillizza, CNN editor-at-large and notable liberal sycophant, published a rundown Monday of potential successors to the already-blackened Biden name in the White House, with a cheery one-sentence description of the individual’s strengths.

It’s not just that the list isn’t intimidating, for a political party that currently dominates power in the nation’s capital — it’s downright embarrassing.

Leading off, of course, is Vice President Kamala Harris, a woman who’s unsuitability for anything close to a position of power grows by the day (even the mainstream media has noticed). As Biden’s understudy, she has been impressively unimpressive since the inauguration — with a notable face-plant on dealing with the illegal immigration crisis that managed to turn off Americans on both ends of the political spectrum.

Behind her is Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, the robotic former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, whose chief claim to fame is being gay and legally married to another man. Buttigieg’s other noteworthy “accomplishment” is supposedly being in charge of the nation’s transportation system in a year when the “supply chain” has been an American worry for the first time in living memory.

(No worries, though, Mayor Pete was at home with his husband and their two adopted children. It’s all good.)

What’s particularly pathetic about the whole thing is that Cillizza calls Buttigieg “the most naturally talented” Democrat in the field. And he’s probably right.
