I think that the Democratic nominee in 2024 will be either Tim Kaine or Elizabeth Warren.

(31,233 posts)Yeah, it's a Sherman quote, but I'll bet dollars to donuts that Michelle Obama has a similar mindset. She didn't even want her husband to run, initially. She's been an outstanding FLOTUS, and she embodies everything that's great about this country.
