The report gained momentum on social media on Monday to the extent that Cooper’s office issued this statement:.msg8386786#msg8386786 date=1639431012 uid=1206]
The NYT reports that some donors are encouraging Ro

“The Governor supports President Biden and is focused on ensuring North Carolina emerges from the pandemic even stronger than before and implementing the President’s plans to create better jobs and support families here in our state.”

Ummm…that’s not exactly a denial of interest in the scenario where Biden doesn’t run.

There’s a lot more on other potential candidates from that NYT story that I mentioned (reposted in Yahoo News, so that there’s no paywall):

Two Democrats who ran for president in the last election said they fully anticipated Biden would run again, but they notably did not rule out running themselves if he declined to do so.

“He’s running, I expect to support him and help him get reelected,” Warren said. “I’m sticking with that story.”

Klobuchar, who told influential Democrats last year that she’d be interested in running again, said of Biden: “He has said he’s going to run again, and I take him at his word, and that’s all I’m going to say.”

Biden’s commerce secretary, Gina Raimondo, has also expressed interest in the White House in the past.

In the run-up to the 2020 election, Raimondo, then the governor of Rhode Island, told an informal adviser that she believed there was a path to the presidency for someone of her experience and background. But Raimondo, a leader of her party’s moderate wing, recently told an associate she was “out of the politics business.”

While allies say that [IL Gov.] Pritzker has expressed no specific intention to run for president in 2024 if Biden bows out, he has talked privately about his interest in seeking the White House at some point should the opportunity arise.

His advisers tried to tamp down the prospect, at least for now. “Governor Pritzker is focused on addressing the challenges facing the people of Illinois and is not spending any time on D.C.’s favorite parlor game: Who will run for President next,” said Emily Bittner, his spokeswoman. She said the governor “wholeheartedly supports” Biden and Harris and expected them to be reelected.

May we all be blessed with the level of confidence of a mediocre politician
