Some pundits I watch brought up an interesting point. They don't think the top Democrat alternatives like Newsom and Whitmer want to run. Instead, they have their eyes set on 2028, where they think the path will be easier. They'd rather sacrifice their party this cycle than run now when the chances are lower.

Newsom positioned himself by hosting Xí Jìnpíng, politicians are not famous for being patient or thinking long term I would be surprised if it was to wait for four more years

That seems a little odd to me, too. However, if they think this presidential term is going to be a trainwreck, then it's better to let the opposition party have it. Let the public get pissed at them and swoop in as the savior later.

Anything's possible. I think they'd at least want to be the one who stepped in for Joe in 2024, so that they'd have a head start in 2028.
