Democrats are chomping at the bit to announce their campaign for president but there seems to be one obstacle, President Joe Biden.
Biden, who is currently the oldest president in history, will be 81 years old when the next election occurs and some Democrats say he isn’t the best candidate to lead the country or stand a chance of defeating Trump who has all-but-confirmed his own 2024 plans.

One Democrat desperately vying for the presidency is none other than California Governor Gavin Newsom. According to sources close to the politician, Newsom is “absolutely” planning to run for president in 2024 if Biden opts out.
According to The Washington Examiner:
“After this midterm election is over, he absolutely is going to announce that he is running for the presidency once Biden announces that he is not running,” a top California fundraiser close to the Newsom family told the Wrap. “No ifs, ands or buts. He will run if Biden does not.”
Governor Newsom’s political ambitions have been the subject of scrutiny over the past few months as he has sought to distinguish himself early on as a presidential contender by meeting with prominent donors, sparring with Republican lawmakers, and calling out his party’s inaction on hot-button issues like abortion and climate change.
One of the Wrap’s sources, a Los Angeles philanthropist who backed Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential bid in 2020 and supported her during her time as district attorney in San Francisco, said some in the party have questioned whether she will be the automatic forerunner if Biden chooses to step aside.
“There’s going to be a ton of people coming out against Kamala if Biden doesn’t run,” the source said.
President Biden recently called his own 2024 campaign into question during an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” when he declined to say if he absolutely planned to run for a second term.
“In terms of election laws,” Biden said, “it’s much too early to make that kind of decision.”
“Look, my intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again,” Biden responded to CBS anchor Scott Pelley. “But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”
OMG, is a failed Gov. in Calicrime, he has lost all control over the state. He’s a pathetic excuse for and political position.
He is the WORST governor in the last 65 years and I have voted for 65 years/ May God help us–he has destroyed California.
‘distinguish’ and ‘newsom’ treads the oxymoronic line. . .
Good Civil war among Dems
Go ahead gav go for it. Your own state won’t even vote for you. Suk my tesla.
Newson is an idiot, no better than Biden. Are dems wanting a continuation of the present tradgey or worse? Think people. Use you brains for something else than group think.
What a joke! Newsom thinking he could be elected president. Half of his own state wants him out of office because he’s nothing but a left wing liberal democrat that is bankrupting their state by dumping all the tax dollars on illegals and drug dealers over running his state. He worry’s more about illegals than he does the citizens of his state.
Why isn’t NEWSOME in PRISON for DERELICTION of DUTY?!? . . . Just ASKIN’. One Enlightened Patriot.
The scary part is unless we the people take control of this mail in ballets and the illegal allens coming across our borders, there is not hope of ever having another legal election in this country again.
Woppie Goldberg could run for the democratic communist party and win in a land slide the way it is being handled right now.
Nuisance has about as much of a chance as a frog with a broken hopper in the middle of a freeway.
Aww, don’t wait for Biden to back out! Run and do your thing. Most of the Democrats don’t want to vote for Biden/Harris anyway! They want a NEW DUMMY!
