Looks well for a FOC.

There's FO(!)Cs on here

It’s as plain as the nose on your face that the gop will not go with trump, not because he’s a toxic ****, but that they can choose a younger candidate and bash Biden as an ‘old man’. It’s frankly the only shot they’ve got in 2024 and why Biden’s age is resurfacing as a talking point on bot-driven social media and is gonna get ratcheted up to screaming-levels over the next two years.

That's if Biden lasts 2 years.

Would the DNC go with Harris or look elsewhere to challenge Desantis?

Spot on, and to be honest however competent Biden is and however well he does, it would make sense for the Dems to line up someone in their 50s with charisma and a good track record to replace Biden at the next election. 82-86 is just too old to be leader of any country. I have no doubts about Biden’s mental acuity right now but in 2 to 6 years who knows.

Trump has roughly 30 percent or so of the Republican vote locked up due to his cult of personality - these are die-hard MAGA voters. In a crowded field, Trump could easily win the first few primaries and coast to victory. Barring some sort of legal or health issue, I think he'll be the Republican nominee in 2024. As this opinion piece puts it, the Republican party is now more MAGA than ever.

More MAGA Than Ever

It’s hard to overstate how radicalized and anarchic the base of the Republican Party remains.

That said, online betting odds have shifted recently. Trump, long a favorite among bettors, is now slightly behind DeSantis.

We aren’t even sure of the order of the state primaries yet. Way too early to conclude that he could win anything, easily or not. I don’t want him to be the nominee — I want it to be DeSantis so Trump runs as an independent (which I think he would) and splits the party in two. Though if he wins the nom, I can’t see how the nation will miraculously change its mind from 2020 anyhow. The headlines are only going to get worse from him; DeSantis has already raised more money; core GOP talking heads are turning away too and blaming him (correctly) for the midterms.
