AOC?
She’s good, but needs time to develop the necessary wiles to take on such a role. She is a great congresswoman, and fights hard for the rights of her constituents, but would benefit from time as a senator or governor before a run for president.

I think there are a good number in the party who are very good, but winning elections is about something completely different. I didnt think he was a good candidate within the Dem field, but once the party coalesced around him and he became the Nom I thought he’s been excellent ever since and with a [thing] I dont know any of the others have.

Contract is up in the summer.
He might want a new challenge.
Edit:
Beat me to it!
I really like the look of Pete Buttigieg. Very intelligent. Speaks well. Multi linguist. Military veteran. Has a decent sized government job now, so is learning how to navigate Washington after a spell as a local politician.
I’m not sure how it works though. Would there be another race, or would Biden step aside and hand the reins to the VP, without another process to go through?
The likes of Buttigieg and AOC still have loads of time ahead of them if they don’t advance to the top job just yet.
The Democratic nomination is in theory open, but challenges to a sitting president who has announced the intention to run for a 2nd term are rare and dramatic.
In 1968, despite the deep divisions in the Democratic Party over the Vietnam War, Johnson appeared to be headed to an acclamation until McCarthy announced his candidacy in late November. There was essentially no chance that he would win the nomination, he simply did not have the national appeal or the organization. However, in taking 42% in NH, McCarthy revealed how serious the level of dissent was, and RFK entered shortly after. Johnson withdrew his candidacy, opening up the race.
The last time a sitting Democratic President was challenged was Carter in 1980, GOP was Bush Sr in 1992. I don’t think it at all likely that Biden would be challenged - but many people may be asking him not to run.
If he decides not to run, the VP has a logical stature but no claim to the nomination. The Vice status applies strictly for death or incapacity of the President.

The balloon drama was 100 percent unimportant and now isn’t, but is now damaging for both the US and China. Both looks weak. The US wanted a meeting with China, China wanted a meeting with the US. In the end, US cancels (many experts found the cancelation rididulous) because of domestic politics ( overblown drama from the GOP). Yes, it’s involved in spying, no they were not collecting critical intelligence. China has lots of satellites.
In the end this damaged both sides for no gain because Chinese military in command of the balloon was a bit too careless and Biden was afraid of GOP.
A completely unimportant event in reality, now a spy drama. Much more had been gained by following through on the meeting and actually raising the question according to some experts, and I find that plausible. No one needed escalation right now.
It was the highlight of the speech for me 
Not going to watch something that will clearly make me angry and depressed.
However, you have to wonder why no Republicans stop and think; Why? Why would the Biden administration want to release all these savage murderers etc? Why mutilate children? What would the advantage be that would outweigh the obvious disadvantages? What is the motive?

That’s because they’ve painted all Democrats as evil. When you believe someone is evil by nature, and/or is the Devil incarnate, you don’t really tend to need proof…
AOC ?
You saw what they did to Hillary , right ? Now multiply that tenfold.

AOC is their target number one. I don’t ever see her becoming President, not because she isn’t qualified or clean but it’ll just be too much for her…the sheer volume of attacks that will come her way

The distance between popular perception and reality in terms of who it is that is is obsessed with fighting culture wars and who are the ones trying to “cancel” things is staggering.

Context - the congressional hearings the GOP put on to demonstrate twitter being used to silence conservatives demonstrated Trump, while president, trying to get Chrissy Tiegen removed for calling him a PAB

AOC is far too extreme to ever be elected to national office. Someone to energize the far left, maybe, like Bernie. Would have to moderate her positions and does not seem the type to do so.
Just pathetic, what a crybaby! Asking for a tweet to be taken down even though he goes around insulting everybody.
Teigen shouldn’t be allowed on any social media
Stick her in a room with trump
