Re: President Biden and US politics catchall

Who is the next cab off the democrat rank behind Biden? Is it Harris? Sadly, I could see her being quite a polarising candidate. As I’ve said before the Dems have getting for 300 members of Congress and state governors and Biden is the pick of the bunch? Only 2 governors might have a chance, Gavin ...
