Ah?
This piece requests the question ….Who would think of actually running AGAINST Joe Biden right now?
And why even bring this up?
Biden hasn’t been in office much more than three months….
“My plan is to run for reelection. That’s my expectation,” Biden told reporters during his first formal news conference. “I’m a great respecter of fate. I’ve never been able to plan four and half, three and a half years ahead for certain.”
The latest Reuters-Ipsos survey found 53 percent of Americans approve of the job Biden is doing, down only slightly from Inauguration Day.
A Gallup poll released Friday found that a strong majority of Americans — 63 percent — approve of Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill that he signed into law earlier this month. Democrats believe that they will be able to run on the bill in the 2022 midterm elections, and his overall response to the pandemic will likely be a major focus of Biden’s reelection campaign should he stick to the pledge to run for a second term.
“He’s a president who is in the mid- to high 50s in popularity and is delivering on the promises that he made to voters and seeing a positive response so far. That bodes well for any reelection effort,” said Josh Schwerin, a Democratic strategist.
“I think we should all be thinking about what we can do to help Biden succeed to hold the Senate and hold the House, and no one should be getting ahead of themselves for the political future. We have a popular incumbent president who we should support,” Schwerin said.

Trump is himself considering running for president again. Jim Kessler, executive vice president for policy at Democratic think tank Third Way and former aide to Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), welcomed Biden’s remarks and said that the president sees himself as the best candidate to defeat Trump should he seek a second term….

Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D), who was on the short list to join President Biden as vice president on the Democratic ticket, is not ruling out a presidential bid of her own, she told USA Today.
“Maybe if it’s good for the country,” Duckworth said of a possible run for the White House.
“I think about growing up in Southeast Asia post-Vietnam; everybody wanted to be us. We had these ideals; we had these values, and you could achieve the American dream. I would want to try to get us back to them. We’re not there now,” Duckworth added….

Note…
Tammy Duckworth was born in Bangkok, Thailand, the daughter of Franklin Duckworth and Lamai Sompornpairin. Under long-standing US law, she is a natural-born citizen because her father was American. Her father, who died in 2005, was a veteran of the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps who traced his family’s American roots to the American Revolutionary War…..
Wiki…
The Senator IS a disabled military combat vet (Army Chopper pilot) , with 2 kids……
How could someone in a wheelchair manage the awful responsibilities of being President?
You’ll have to ask FDR; after all, he could only take it for twelve and a quarter years.
Indeed…..
How about the Gov of Texas?
She HAS given for her country…
But someone here mentioned that she wasn’t to bright i believe….
GOPer’s probably would go after her birth qualification to be President…
Duckworth can’t hold a candle to Sens.Tommy Turbeville of Alabama, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and the perennial James Inhofe of Oklahoma.
All three are finalists for the coveted Dumbest Member of the Senate award.
The Award will be made later this year which will give all three ample time to prove their “worthiness” for the honor.
Ron Johnson deserves to be a finalist. What more does he have to say?
Still, Tuberbille wins.
Keith did not have favorable words for Duckworth, but he never implied she was one of the dumbest in the Senate.
