Yeah, the paywalls are getting nuts. I cannot verify either but here's something from the Hill on it.
Ranking the Democrats who could run for president in 2024
CORRECTION: President Biden will turn 80 later this month. An earlier version of this story included incorrect information. Democrats bracing for a brutal midterm election instead got a big surpris…

Thanks for that. What's the narrative here, surely all of these people don't plan on primarying Biden do they?

I just finished watching an Amanpour interview of New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a republican. I came away somewhat impressed. He was being coy on running for president. Could make an announcement in the Summer.

No plans for that, not revealed anyway.
It was just a well-written editorial about democratic potential candidates and their qualifications.

Caught him on MTP on Sunday, seems way too sane to get anywhere in the current GOP climate but you never know.

It was a breath of fresh air watching him. Easy-going, intelligent, funny, his thoughts on China were smart, etc.
Oh, and the main qualifier: NOT a NUTJOB.

Interesting article about how RFK Jr. could hinder Biden's campaign.
RFK Jr.’s longshot presidential bid may still give Biden a headache
RFK Jr. may very well complicate matters for President Biden, who would benefit from a cakewalk primary ahead of a likely rematch against Donald Trump in the general election.
The progressives aren't really Biden fans, so siphoning them off shouldn't be too hard. But his anti-Vax stance will certainly hurt him with almost all Dems. Unless he can frame it as a concern it was rushed.
Biden now has a progressive record to run on. And a successful one at that.
Other than when he announced, I haven’t heard any movement at all. Put it like this, I think he has as much of a chance of causing Biden a headache as Nikki Haley does for Trump.

A new ABC New/WaPo poll shows that 63% of American adults do not think that Biden has the "mental sharpness" to be an effective President, vs 32% who do. That's 2-1.
The fact that ABC/WaPo even asked this is surprising. And that they released it after seeing these number is even more so. Are they getting ready to tank him?

This is nothing new, all the polls showing Dems have a problem with his age are basically the same but it won't be enough for anyone to primary him. Neither party is excited about their candidate and while polls have Biden and Trump close the question is whether or not Trump can move those who disapprove of him outside of the Republican base, and so far that answer is a resounding no.
Personally, I would rather see younger more moderate candidates on either side but nobody has an appetite for that and it's a shame.

With about a year and a half to go for the general election, I really hope this is a one-off occurance:
"White House says Biden is fine after tripping on stage at Air Force Academy commencement"

It's concerning anytime someone his age takes a fall. Shit, I'm in my 50s and took a spill last week and am still recovering lol.

True - and I'm wishing you a speedy recovery.
But the optics of Biden's fall, and possibly subsequent falls (and long pauses while speaking) over the next 18 months, may very well impact who's elected president next year.

Didn't Fox replace Tucker Carlson's show with footage of Biden tripping and having brain farts?

Trump's still living off of Big Macs and KFC and is probably in worse shape than Biden with his share of spills too, maybe it'll be a battle of who falls the least.

If we're lucky. I'm more concerned about desantis and possibly Pence (assuming trump collapses under the weight of the justice system)

Same here, that guy is dangerous and is causing way more division than any of them right now. He's also been really successful in passing pro-hate legislation, granted it's in a state house full of other hateful Republicans but it shows his ability to get things through.
