Who is best qualified to replace President Biden?

Who is best qualified to replace President Biden?

The media are name dropping people like Vice President Harris, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and even Maryland Governor Wes Moore. But Vice President Harris is polling lower than President Biden. Both she and Governor Newsom may be too polarizing for an already polarized nation. And while Governor Moore appears to have charisma, he may be better suited to meet the nation’s needs if he makes a run for office in four or eight years. 

I want to entertain the idea of a different candidate for the President of the United States. Democracies are supposed to foster discussion and debate. Are they not?

My proposal is that Retired Four-Star Admiral William McRaven be nominated as the Democratic Party’s candidate for President of the United States.

If President Biden is replaced with one of these four people, who would you be most likely to vote for? Vice President Harris? Governor Gavin Newsom? Governor Wes Moore? Or Retired Admiral William McRaven?
