Well, Kamala is "ready to take over" for the remainder of Biden's term, but I can't imagine the DNC credibly running her as candidate. Of course, I couldn' imagine the DNC running Biden* or Hillary* either. I'm sure they would love to run Obama, but that darn 22nd ammendment is in the way.

It might be somebody in the Obama camp. That's Camel Harris. But it should also be a 'rainmaker' ... somebody who brings in a lot of $$ to DNC coffers. And it definitely can't be a populist.

Would Michele Obama be too obvious?

Gonna go look at some of the more senior Senators and popular governors.

Newsome has been floated, but CA's Dem vote is pretty much locked in so he wouldn't being any swing voters to the race.

Katie Hobbs (AZ)
Jared Polis (CO)
JB Pritzker (IL) ... now THERE's Mr Moneybagas, and he's part of Obama's Chicago machine
Wes Moore (MD)
Gretchen Whitmore (MI)
Phil Murphey (NJ, finance chair of the DNC)
Roy Cooper (NC)
Michelle Lujan Grisham (NM)
Gavin Newsome (CA)

There are more Dem governors but they're either from small states and/or states that reliably vote Dem. I tried to winnow the list to governors who are either in swign states or who bring in a lot of $$. The only reason to list Newsome is bc he was mentioned before and he so clearly wants the job.
