Democrats Have No Answer For What Comes Next After Biden

President Biden's poll numbers continue to sink, but beyond Biden, Democrats have a very serious leadership problem. While the Republican Party has multiple people waiting in the wings to take over if Trump doesn't run, the Democrats are left with virtually nobody that has the name-recognition or experience to be the next big thing. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why this problem for the Democrats could easily doom them in the future.

The Democrats have a very big problem. And that big problem of course, is what do we do after president Biden now, right now, president Biden's approval rating continues to fall. He's losing against Donald Trump in these, uh, hypothetical matchup polls. He is not doing well. Vice president, Kamala Harris. Her approval rating is even worse than Biden's. Nobody wants her to run. Nobody wants her to be the heir apparent of the democratic party. So the question the Democrats have to answer and they better answer it pretty soon is who takes over once Biden is finished, or I think a better question would be who can take over for Biden because he cannot win another election. There is no way in hell president Biden can win a second term. And I'm not saying that because I hate the guy I'm saying that because I'm looking at literally all of the evidence and it all tells us Biden's not gonna get a second term, which in my opinion is one of the biggest reasons he needs to be primaried in 2024. He should not run again. Harris should not run again. She is historically unpopular and ineffective.

Now, when you look over at the Republican side, obviously Donald Trump, you know, uh, thinks he is going to be the nominee. But even if he's not, what do the Republicans have? They have a hell of a lot of people ready to run for president who believe they have the experience and name recognition to make it happen. They have Ted Cruz. They have Nikki Haley. They have Chris Christie. They have Josh Holly. They have Tom cotton. They have Mike Pompeo. They may even have Rand Paul again, who knows. They may even have Matt gates, Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbot, perhaps they've got people waiting to take over for the party to continue it moving forward. Who the hell do the Democrats have answer me that right now, if you were to take away this entire Biden administration, as if they don't exist, who is leading the democratic party, nobody has a clear answer for that. And I know because I have asked people this in multiple interviews, multiple different people from centrist to hardcore leftists, and nobody can give a straight answer, but there is always one name that pops pops up as a possibility. One name, Katie Porter, an interview after interview that I have conducted for the ring of fire podcast. The people that I have asked this question of, they don't always go to Bernie. It's not

AOC. It's not Pete Buttigieg, but one person that we would all like to see more of. And I've said this myself in videos as well is Katie Porter, Katie Porter could and should be the future of the democratic party. The squad I have full faith in them. I, I, I don't buy into any of the attacks that the squad gets either from the right or these so-called left, which is really just the new right. I don't believe it at all. These people are fighters, but we need them fighting where they're fighting. Katie Porter is a fighter who hasn't been tarnished. Unfortunately like the members of the squad have by the Republicans, the Republicans have launched so many attacks against the members of the squad that I don't know that they could win a national election. I would love for them to be able to. I'm just telling you, Republicans have already gotten them.

They haven't gotten Katie Porter. Katie Porter loves to just beat the hell outta these corporate CEOs. She loves to use facts. She loves to pull out those charts. She loves to make an example that the American public can easily understand another person who I t
