2024 hottakes: President Biden elected in 2020

[Sir Mohamed]

What would be your prediction for 2024, if we see a Biden election in 2020?

The four above are the most plausible options. There is, at least statistically, some chance he does not make it through the term since he'll be 78 on inauguration day. I didn't want to include this voting option because I find it a little tasteless to speculate on a person's death. I think we can all agree to wish him fine health and a long life.


My hottake would be he announces his retirement some time in spring 2023 and his VP (Kamala Harris?) gets the nomination and beats the GOP challenger. The economy might struggle early in his term, but by 2024 will be solid enough for Dems to keep the WH.

Biden retires, becomes a elder statesman.

Harris is the VP, but she could lose to DeSantis or Haley or Wenstrup.

Wenstrup? I don't even know who that is.

Ohio Rep. Brad Wenstrup. He is a doctor, a Midwestern conservative.

Cotton may be too conservative for America.

I'm pretty sure the 2024 GOP candidate is on nobody's radar at this point. DeSantis and Haley are too predictable. Could happen of course, but I doubt.

[Sir Mohamed]

Atlas will probably predict that President Biden will fail. Therefore, I would predict Biden to succeed given the community’s track record.

Depends what success means? He'll certainly get some bills passed such as infrastructure and a public option of healthcare, depending on how 2020 congressional elections turn out, appoint liberal or moderate judges and restore our standing in the world. That may fall flat if a recession hits and the public sees his admin as incompetent on the economy.

Biden runs for reelection, faces a rematch with a totally senile Trump.

A 82 year old prez running against a 78 year old former prez? That'll be hard.
