Newsom is not a good choice--California is a fucking mess & he wouldn't appeal to moderates.

Biden understandably didn't want to run then. Remember, his son had died just the year before, and he himself largely stepped out of the public eye to grieve for a while.

Even if Biden had wanted to run back then, he never would have beaten Hillary in a primary. Everyone knew it was hers, and the fact that Bernie garnered so much grassroots support despite the Democratic Party's attempts to rubber-stamp her to the nomination were another red flag that she just wasn't a strong national candidate.

Had Beau Biden not died, Joe likely would have run in 2016.

Would he have beaten Clinton? Don't know.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Joe would have probably beaten Trump, however.

I'm hoping Whitmer runs in 2028. She might be able to capture the Midwest vote, and she's got that whole, "crazy right wingers tried to assassinate me" to run on. If she runs on a platform of going after white supremacy, she's got a good shot with the base.

Whitmer, Shapiro, Newsom, Ossoff, Warnock, and Pritzker are all acceptable candidates

I really strongly disagree. People have a strong distaste for Hillary Clinton, to the point that Bernie Sanders grabbed ~40 percent of primary voters. A more mainstream, established figure would have beaten Clinton like Obama and Trump did.

Newsome is likeable and charismatic but I honestly dunno if he'd make a good President.
Any Californians that can honestly say how he's doing over there?

It would have also been immediately after Obama's tenure, of which Joe Biden was the VP and Obama's presidency was generally viewed as favorably.

Clinton, in contrast, was just a SoS who was put under scrutiny by Republicans over Benghazi and had an investigation into mishandling of emails.

Pritzker less so than the others, but yeah. Dems have a real bench for the first time in awhile.

The party, including Obama, didn't want Biden to run because it would damage Hillary's candidacy in the general election.
