New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/li>\n<li>9. California Governor Gavin Newsom<\/li>\n<li>8. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker<\/li>\n<li>7. Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown<\/li>\n<li>6. North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper<\/li>\n<li>5. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar<\/li>\n<li>4. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren<\/li>\n<li>3. Vice President Kamala Harris<\/li>\n<li>2. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg<\/li>\n<li>1. President Joe Biden<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The list includes four failed candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination, a governor who faced a recall vote and a two-term member of Congress who will have been eligible to be president for just 22 days come Election Day 2024.<\/p>\n<p>In the piece, the writer cited a YouGov <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cdn.yougov.com\/af2sfv6t42\/econToplines.pdf\">poll<\/a>, noting it said \u201conly 21% of Democratic-leaning voters said their choice was the incumbent Democratic president, Joe Biden. That put him barely ahead of the 18% who said they weren\u2019t sure whom they supported; Vice President Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders each had 14% shares.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not normal. We\u2019ve seen some evidence that Democrats aren\u2019t sold on nominating Biden for a second term, including a poll in November showing a majority of Democrats didn\u2019t want him to run again. But lots of Republicans say the same about a repeat run for Donald Trump in 2024 \u2013 yet he\u2019s the clear front-runner when you pit him against actual would-be opponents,\u201d the Post said.<\/p>\n<p>The most interest passage in the article was questioning whether Biden would run unopposed for the Democratic nomination if he chooses to run again in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn previous installments, we excluded Biden from the list, suggesting we\u2019d probably have a true primary only if he didn\u2019t run. But we increasingly need to consider the possibility that, if he does run, he won\u2019t have the field to himself \u2013 and that he might not be the most likely nominee, all things considered,\u201d the article said.<\/p>\n<p>On Ocasio-Cortez, who is just 32 (the Constitution mandates presidents be 35 years old, which AOC would barely make by November 5, 2024), the Post said she polled at just 6% in the YouGov survey. Yet the liberal paper said she\u2019d have a \u201cbuilt-in base\u201d if she chose to run for president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t seem to be taking the kind of steps that others on this list are, but she would have a built-in base, and the progressive lane will be significantly more open this time, since Sanders has said he\u2019s very likely out,\u201d the Post said.<\/p>\n<p>In another unusual move, the paper put the Transportation Secretary ahead of the vice president, \u201cbut not with any great conviction on our part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe ran a good campaign in 2020 \u2013 we\u2019ll repeat that he was very close to winning the first two contests \u2013 and would enter 2024 with more heft as a Cabinet secretary. Mostly, we\u2019d expect a Biden-less race to be one of the most wide-open contests in recent memory. To the extent people don\u2019t want Biden or Harris, he\u2019s next in line just in terms of sheer plausibility,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p>And as for Harris, the Post said: \u201cWe\u2019re dropping Harris down a slot this time. Being vice president is certainly a good launchpad, but it\u2019s not at all clear Harris has put it to good use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent, and ran the Drudge Report from 2010 to 2015.
