Trump and Scott (30)

Trump and de Santis (15)

(Kanye) West and idk who the VP nominee would be (15)

Someone else (e.g. Don Jr) (10)

Democratic nominee:

Biden and Harris (40)

Harris and someone else (Kelly?) (20)

Kelly and Harris (10)

Someone else and Harris (15)

Someone else (both for president and VP) (15)

55% chance of Republicans winning in 2024 sounds high to me. Just as a base case most presidents win reelection. And I do think Trump is mildly less popular than Generic Republican. Is there a specific bad thing you think will derail a second Biden term?

Haha.

Mind boggling.

This goes against liberal institutional wokism.

We think you’re just being bougie about Trump but literally there is no candidate.

Open their mouths and ewww RINO

Predict a 2024 DNC w/ Biden, GOP Senate and/or recession and another war.

Entirely reactionary here. 85%
