I want Austin Scott, Phil Scott, Bob Scott, Ray Scott, and Elizabeth Scott jump in so we can see who the best Scott is

[Benjamin Frank]

Where does Hurd get the money from to run?

I would think never Trump Republicans. Who else would they be supporting?

Chris Christie is a decent prosecutor, but he's also a loudmouth with no credibility.

Asa Hutchinson is anti Trump but is also very right wing.

90% of big money comes from never-Trump Republicans.

He'd be better off in the Senate race, where he'd actually be the favorite in the Republican Primary. (I doubt he could beat Tim Kaine, though).

Good point. He has plenty of time to switch to the Senate race.

ETA: Jackson's website explains why he's running for President:
The answers are all in his new top selling book. This book covers a host of issues and provides a blue print for securing America’s future.

If President Biden was to show actual signs of (new real) health problems, who do you think would be the first to get into the Democratic primaries to challenge Biden? Kind of like when Senator Eugene McCarthy challenged President Lyndon Johnson in 1968.

My guess is it would be some former U.S House member who has no plan to get back into electoral politics so doesn't mind annoying the Democratic establishment, but I can't think of a name other than maybe Stephanie Murphy.

Murphy is not a natural-born citizen.

Maybe Joe Cunningham? He seems like he's been itching to get back into the political arena, though he's been very involved with No Labels so he might not want to run as a Democrat.

It's likely he'd resign and allow Kamala Harris to run as an incumbent in this scenario.

I wish he would run. He's the only current elected Democrat I'd vote for over Trump.

[Zinneke]

Booker is the natural replacement candidate if Biden starts sh**tting himself in broad delight.

[LostInOhio]

Harris is going to be the likely nominee should Biden (unlikely) experience a health problem that causes him to drop out of the election. It’s not going to be Gavin Newsom or Cory Booker. People who say things like that really don’t understand how the Democratic Party operates.

Moreover I’d say that she’s highly likely (90% chance IMO) to be the 2028 nominee if Biden wins as well. But that’s a discussion reserved for the 2028 forum - maybe I’ll post a thread detailing why I feel so confidently about this when that board opens up.

[AltWorlder]

lol is anyone suggesting Booker because that guy completely dropped off after 2019

I'm pretty sure Booker himself said that he wouldn't run for President again, but would focus on being a U.S Senator and moving up in the Senate.

[Benjamin Frank]

Which Republican will be the first to drop out and when?

[Landslide Lyndon]

I propose we rename this thread to honor Mr. Morden.

[cherry mandarin]

Which Republican will be the first to drop out and when?

Will Hurd, November.

Will Hurd, November.

I was thinking that as well, especially if Liz Cheney endorses Chris Christie. I would also expect Hurd to endorse Christie. I think Christie is a phony - a lawyer who can argue any side with the same passion as he used to when defending Trump - but he does seem to be gaining more traction than I thought he would, especially in some of the early states.
