Not sure how I feel about this take on things.

Overall seeing the republicans winning office again is great, but at what cost? What would instantaneously come back, with the same drama from Trump's 1st term? Is it even possible for him to try for a repeat - and not have it come with immediate drama and negativity?

And at the same time, stopping the current crop of democrats seems like an emergency. Depending on how you look at things and how much damage can be done in a short time, and how much more potentially come 2024.

Then the thought of Kamala running, with Michelle Obama in the mix? And then AOC in there too, and the thought of that one alone is scary as hell.

The only thing possibly preventing this would be another strong GOP candidate to emerge, and one that would maybe get the support of Trump due to other circumstances.

McLaughlin Poll: 64% Say Biden Won't Run in 2024, Trump Beats Harris

Harris head-to-head, something made more significant by nearly two-thirds of voters saying they don’t think President Joe Biden will finish his current term, according to a new poll.

When asked if Harris will be president before the end of Biden’s 4-year term, 64% of likely voters in the McLaughlin monthly May poll said she would.

Even among Biden voters (51%) and Democrats (50%), many said it’s likely Harris will be president.

In a presidential contest pitting Trump against Harris, the former president leads 49% to 45%.

Trump leads Harris among independents (48% - 42%) and suburban voters (52% - 42%), but also takes 39% of Hispanics and 17% of African Americans.

Although Biden maintains a net positive job approval — McLaughlin said the president’s favorable to unfavorable ratings are close to 53% approve to 46% disapprove — it’s down from last month when it was 56% - 43%.

The president has a net unfavorable rating among independents (47% approve to 51% disapprove), whites (44% - 56%), voters over 55 (47% - 53%), and men (47% - 52%).

The news for Harris is worse. She’s favorable with less than half (47%) of all voters, while 48% are unfavorable to her.

Harris still leads among Democrats in a potential 2024 primary field. She received 35% of the vote, which was more than former first lady Michelle Obama (16%), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., (7%), and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg (6 %).

Despite much negative coverage about Trump in the mainstream media, 73%, of all Republican primary voters, which includes independents who vote in GOP primaries, want to see the former president run again in 2024.
