8:07 pm

8:10 pm
is from california as well. she is the sitting vice president. that would be the natural replacement for president joe biden. i think the top 2 candidates, if there are talk to after calmer harris would be governor gretchen whitmore, of michigan. she survived an attempted kidnapping. um by some radicals, a few years back around 2020 election. she's been a, a loud, pragmatic voice in the democratic party who is a strong leader. and i think that actually who is probably in the lead, if it's not kamel harris and possibly even if it is calmer, harris is sitting california governor gavin newsome. he has taken it straight on to the republicans, he debated. governor round the santas, mago republican from florida on fox news and handle that extremely well. he's been advertising nationally and he is a well regarded leader in the democratic party as well. it's been 80 years since
