A well-placed Democratic operative said Friday that it is 'realistic' Harris may replace Biden as a result of his diminished capabilities, though the person added that they suspected that the party's slate of candidates would be the same as four years ago.
'The president owns the DNC lock, stock and barrel,' said strategist Brad Bannon. 'The only way the DNC will have an opportunity to pick a nominee is if Joe Biden decides to step down.'
The only Democrat currently challenging Biden for the nomination is outgoing Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.). Other potential 2024 alternatives, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, have already thrown their weight behind the incumbent.
