I would have to guess somebody made sure in advance most of the possible choices would take themselves out of contention in the 1st hour. With Newsom, Whitmer et al coming out with almost instant endorsements, it was over before it began.

I'm not sure if calls were necessarily made, but I think Biden himself made sure of it by effectively pledging a hundred million dollars and a fully staffed campaign to her 107 days before the election and just a few weeks before ballots are being printed.

None of Whitmer, Newsome, or anyone else for that matter had the infrastructure or means that would have been necessary to even mount an attempt at that point. And to try and fail is a surefire way to commit career suicide at the national level.

This.... his endorsement helped, but the reality is that none of them wanted anything to do with challenging her because the risks would have far exceeded any reward.

It's a big reason why there was never a real challenge to Biden once he decleared reelection.... the risk reward math just didn't add up.

The Never Trumpers are on the ball. Hire them for your ads, we'll sort out other differences later

 

Imagine the tears that will flow when Biden is thanked at the DNC after a stirring video.

Sue, I respect you more than you might think.  You are a treasure to this board. When you talk I listen. I really had not heard much from him other than written statements.
