“With President Biden reportedly set to announce his reelection campaign early next week, more Americans say they feel exhaustion over the prospect of a 2024 rematch between Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, than any other emotion, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.
No other sentiment — not fear (29%), sadness (23%), hope (23%), anger (23%), excitement (16%), pride (8%) or gratitude (7%) — cracks the 30% mark among all Americans.”

Four years after a historically large number of Republican and Democrat presidential candidates, it looks like the field for the 2024 presidential campaign will be much smaller. It will likely be headlined by the same two senile men who ran in the general election last time: President Joe Biden and the twice-impeached, freshly indicted former President Donald J. Trump.
Biden has only token opposition: New Age quack Marianne Williamson and anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Williamson will be lucky to get the support of a few New Age weirdos and Kennedy might get the support of a few anti-vaxxers who have grown tired of Trump’s antics.
Trump has only token opposition: Nickie Haley, a former governor of South Carolina and United Nations ambassador under Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, a millionaire entrepreneur, Asa Hutchinson, a former governor of Arkansas and nutjob conservative radio host Larry Elder. Trump will make mincemeat out of these pretenders, they don’t’ have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the nomination.
Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, is the only one who might pose a threat to Trump, but he hasn’t announced yet, and most political operatives think he’s not ready for prime time.
Unless Biden’s cognitive mental decline approaches Dianne Feinstein’s vegetable level and he’s forced to withdraw or the morbidly obese Trump suffers a fatal attack, it’s going to be Biden vs Trump again. And I’m already exhausted, depressed and bored to death.
What can we expect from the 2024 general election campaign? Biden safely ensconced in the White House running a virtual campaign. Biden does not have the physical energy or the mental acuity to run a conventional campaign. Trump leveling insults at Biden and holding his Nazi-like MAGA rallies.
Biden vs Trump II is evidence that our democracy is broken. Our only hope is for the Grim Reaper to target Biden or Trump, or hopefully both. We desperately need a new generation of presidential candidates to revive our democracy.
