More likely he's actually running to be Trump's or DeSantis' VP.

No politician goes to Iowa by accident…

She's running to be Trump's VP.

There more candidates jump in, the more likely is a Trump nomination. At this point, I don't even think DeSantis can dethrone him 1 on 1.

Breaking: Tim Scott announces he's running for vice president

Interesting, I thought he previously ruled out a run. But yup, he's running to be VP.

Hogan will consider not running should he play spoiler for an anti Trump candidate

If Hogan is serious about keeping Trump as far away from power as possible, he should endorse DeSantis as he seems to be the only one who has a chance in a GOP primary. And if DeSantis fails, just endorse Biden for reelection.

(not that his endorsement means much in a R-primary or the GE)

Biden may not run — and top Dems are quietly preparing

Biden’s past decisions around seeking the presidency have been protracted, painstaking affairs. This time, he has slipped past his most ambitious timetable, as previously outlined by advisers, to launch in February. Now they are coalescing around April.

Democratic Govs. JB Pritzker of Illinois, Gavin Newsom of California and Phil Murphy of New Jersey have taken steps that could be seen as aimed at keeping the door cracked if Biden bows out — though with enough ambiguity to give them plausible deniability. Senators like Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar have been making similar moves.

One source close to (Warren), however, said another presidential bid is highly unlikely regardless of what Biden decides.

Sanders’ former campaign co-chair, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif), told POLITICO that Sanders “is preparing to run if Biden doesn’t,” adding he’d support Sanders in such a scenario.

Politico now seriously considering Williamson a non-joke candidate and comparing her to Reagan '76? LOL!

Almost certainly Biden is going to run, though according to Wikipedia an announcement is not happening before April.

Pretty sure Sununu was wrong given that NH poll.

More sounded like wishful thinking to me, imho.

Biden team eyes Delaware for 2024 campaign HQ -sources

WASHINGTON, March 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's team is leaning toward basing his 2024 re-election campaign in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, and is considering at least three people to serve as his campaign manager, Democratic sources familiar with the matters said.

Biden, who has said he intends to run for re-election but has yet to make a formal announcement, travels regularly on weekends to Wilmington, making it a natural place for political work outside of the White House in Washington.

Philadelphia, home to Biden's 2020 campaign operations, has also been under consideration, the sources said. Biden spent part of his childhood in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and travels regularly to the political battleground state for events.

Who even is this Singh dude? Wikipedia doesn't list him anywhere. Not even in the Cory Stapleton section.

Gavin Newsom officially puts any lingering 2024 speculation to rest.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is trying to put an end to speculation that he might run for president in 2024, saying he's all in for President Joe Biden.

"I think we need to move past this notion that he’s not going to run," Newsom told NBC "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd in an interview, adding that he looked forward to getting Biden re-elected.

"I think there’s been so much wallowing in the last few months, and handwringing in this respect," Newsom said. "But we’re gearing up for the campaign. We’re looking forward to it."

He said his message to donors wondering if the nominee will be someone besides Biden is: "Time to move on. Let's go."

He said so several times before. This talk was always propped up by right-wing channels and commentators.
