From Bad to Worse: Washington Post Publishes 2024 Democratic Presidential Hopeful Rankings
By Levon Satamian | Jul 25, 2022 2:45 PM ET
Following an op-ed by the Washington Post noting that Biden should not seek a second term as President, the Post published a list of the “top-ten” Democratic Presidential hopefuls. If they want to hand the GOP nominee a win in 2024, the DNC should nominate nine out of ten of these candidates.
As President Biden continues to assure Americans that he will run in 2024, most Democratic voters do not want to see him as the nominee. Democrats such as Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker are ready to announce a White House bid following the 2022 midterm elections.
As I reported last week, CNN’s Chris Cillizza published his own list of “top-ten” candidates. The author of the Post’s list, Aaron Blake, had some similar choices, but there were quite a few differences as well. Let’s start with Blake’s list.
At number ten, Blake listed Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
“Well, the New York congresswoman is the big name who hasn’t really done so. She recently declined to say whether she’ll back Biden in 2024, citing the fact that he’s not running yet. But that fact hasn’t stopped others from saying they would stand behind Biden.”
At number nine, he listed Governor Roy Cooper (D-NC).
“The North Carolina governor is the would-be hopeful pushed by a set of Democratic strategists who think the best course is to nominate a Southern governor with proven crossover appeal (which Cooper certainly has) … Cooper can make an argument that few on this list can make, having won repeatedly in a state carried by Republican presidential nominees, including in the same election.”
