DeSantis could be seen as an alternative candidate if say, Trump ends up in prison, or has a health problem, and they decide not to run him this time. Seems unlikely Trump would ever agree to that, though.
Agreed. I can’t see the GOP pivoting away from Trump voluntarily nor Trump voluntarily agreeing to be off ballot.
It’s funny, I specifically remember Biden saying he was going to be a 1-term president and that he wouldn’t run for a second term, handing off to a younger person to take up the proverbial torch. I think it was in relation to debate questions about his age.
I thought it was during one of the debates in the run up to the 2020 election. But I can’t find evidence that backs my recollection. There was an article from back then that discusses and maybe this is what I read and somehow conflated into words coming out of Bidens mouth.
Maybe providing an alternative candidate to pivot away from Biden if he continues polling so poorly against Trump?
Also, DeSantis is polling so far behind Trump currently, why should Biden go work ‘em over? Send out Newsom to handle the light work.

Sad to see that isn’t panning out.
When the hell did Biden say that?

Scary how easily misinformation and negative sentiment is spread by confidence in a memory of something that didn’t happen.
I know right. Memory is weird.
