[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty sure that Biden has said he's only on the ballot to prevent Trump from returning to the White House. If Trump were to be blocked from running again, then I think Biden would retire. However, I don't think Harris is popular enough. I think that if Biden dropped out, Whitmer would be the primary contender to take the Democratic nomination and beat Nikki Haley (or Ron DeSantis). Other than Andy Beshear (who continues to claim he won't run), I think Whitmer is the strongest contender after Biden and Trump.[/quote] Is it that whitmer is a white woman. That’s the only reason she would be a contender over harris.[/quote] I'm the PP you are responding to. I happen to like Harris. And as an Asian American myself, I am proud that we have an Asian American woman serving as VP of the US. Unlike the other PP who responded earlier, I believe she's smart. What I don't think is that she is appropriately political, she is brash and often speaks before she thinks. She has qualities that made her a good litigator, which is how she made it up the chain to be a US Senator and not President of the Senate. That said, she has some of the same issues that make Trump and Biden bad candidates in that she is subject to verbal gaffes and she often speaks before she thinks. She also has more legislative experience than executives. There is a reason that for most of the US history, that governors make better Presidents than Congressmen or Senators because legislative experience is not a good measure of executive performance. The two branches of government work differently and the skills to work effectively in the legislative branch do not always convey to working effectively in the executive branch. Whitmer is much more polished and better at public speaking and presentations. She has more executive experience and she has far better management skills. If you are going to try to cast my views as racist, I'll also say that I would consider Michelle Lujan-Grisham to be very similar in experience and capability to Whitmer. In fact, with her Congressional experience, she is arguably stronger. However, Whitmer has national name recognition and she has made national headlines both for her work in leading the very purple state and for the domestic terrorist exposure on her, than Lujan-Grisham, who has much more limited national name-recognition.[/quote]
