My guess would be VP Kamala Harris.

She polled horrible in 2020, and only has 4 months to truly campaign. It's a shit show for sure.

Funnily enough, she's been polling higher than Biden, so it's already an improvement. Plus, she will be able to campaign and speak more effectively. We need someone who can explain to the people why we can't survive another Trump term and get dem voters excited to vote. Biden obviously couldn't do it anymore and was bleeding down ballot races. I'll gladly support whoever the DNC puts up though tbh.

I think we need someone who black women are excited to vote for. Didn’t we pretty much secured the election for Obama both times? When we show up to the polls, our candidate wins.

I wish Michelle would run. I know she hates politics. But she’s probably the only one who can defeat Trump this late in the game.

A. Black women absolutely dominate the polls when they're motivated to show up.

In recent years, you've actually had the dnc try to guilt trip black women on some "it's your job to show up and save America"

B. Michelle Obama would smoke Trump but she famously hates politics and finally has her husband back.

Plus she just lost her Momma. Let that woman breathe and grieve.

I do believe that before we even said somethin, white women would’ve been fighting other white women to also support Michelle. It would’ve brung people together.

White women didn't even turn out for Hillary. No way they're doing it for a black woman.

Black men showed up for Obama too. Biden was the one black women in particular really clutched for the DNC. What I'm trying to say is black women always show up regardless.
