"SNIP......

“Vice President Kamala Harris’ former staffers and fundraisers anticipate a potentially messy primary if she goes up against fellow Cabinet member Pete Buttigieg in a race for the White House,” Insider reports.

“A free-for-all Democratic presidential primary could come as early as 2024 if President Joe Biden decides he won’t run for reelection, though he has said that he plans to. Some Democratic donors and strategists are already privately discussing what the field could look like in 2024 if Biden opts out.”

1. I'd enthusiastically vote for Buttigieg in 2024!!

2. That should be interesting.

3. "Messy primary" - so in other words like any primary with no incumbent? n/t

5. I already decided I will likely vote for Kamala if there is a primary

She would be a great president.

6. I didn't vote for one term President Biden.

Two terms. Then I’ll vote for Katie Porter and Pete VP.

7. The amount of butthurt that will be going on in 2024 will put 2020 to shame.

8. Harris would not clear the field in 24 or 28, there will be a competitive primary

And that is a good thing.

9. If Biden Doesn't Run in 2024

A Harris/Buttigieg ticket sounds good to me.

I like both Harris and Buttigieg. If they both ran for the nomination in '24, it would be a hard choice to make.

12. 2022, first.

[AZProgressive]

10. I'm just focused on 2022

I’m going to worry about 2024 later and I’m more interested in the 2024 Arizona Senate Democratic Primary at this point.
