ol' white joe has another week or two before he makes his "Lyndon Johnson" speech.
I sense that behind the scenes phone calls are being made to a number of Party governors (you'll note that Whitmer has issued a statement that she "is out" already), after which their responses will be weighed and sorted. Perhaps to a few other "possibilities" as well. Remember, BOTH ol' joe AND kamala require "replacement" for the 2024 ticket.
I reckon that the big donors are being consulted, as well, to see who they would be willing to pay for, and perhaps those who aren't considered "worth it".
I wonder if ol' joe will do an in-front-of-the-camera announcement, or if it may just be in the form of a press release...?
