“ There was no one in July of 2024, and there wouldn't have been anyone in March of 2024 either.“ We aren’t communicating bud. I said he should have declined running again by new years 2023 the latest ,comprende?
Even that would have been too late. By New Years, the qualification deadline had already passed in about 28 of the 50 state primaries. If he had announced on X-mas that he was dropping out, it would have been an insane choice for anyone other than Harris to have rushed to get on the ballot in the last half of the states. She would have, of course, been a shoo-in to enter the race - but none of the other potentials would have had the time to do even the bare minimum of preparation to decide whether or not to launch a Presidential campaign on such short, unexpected notice.
No one would have entered to contest her. At least, no one that had a chance of winning. And so she'd go into the convention with all the non-Biden delegates and no one having dared to run. She wins in a walk.
Had Biden decided not to run earlier in 2023 - at least several months before the qualifying deadlines in mid-October for the early primary states - you would have seen real folks enter the race. Even then, BTW, I think several candidates would have thought twice about it, and I think Harris has a decent chance of winning the nomination against the ones who throw in.
