Direct Headline: Gavin Newsom should be Democrats’ replacement for Biden, top Dem strategist suggests
Newsom is 25 years younger than President Joe Biden...California Gov. Gavin Newsom may be the Democratic Party's strongest choice to run for president if President Joe Biden bows out, longtime party strategist David Axelrod says....Axelrod, who served as former President Barack Obama's chief strategist, made the comments in a Wednesday statement to The New York Times. The 2024 presidential race has been a burning question for Democrats, with no clear heir to Biden and many party members skeptical of whether the president could or should run for a second term...."If the president were not to run, it’s hard to imagine that Newsom would not be sorely tempted to enter the race," Axelrod said Wednesday....
..."Democrats need fresh, bold leadership for the 2024 presidential race. That can’t be Biden," lawyer and Democratic National Committee member Shelia Huggins told NYT last week...."I need an equivalent of Ron DeSantis, a Democrat, but not a 70- or 80-year-old – a younger person....Someone who knows what worked for you in 1980 is not going to work for you in 2022 or 2024...."

Direct Headline: 11 Democrats who could replace Joe Biden in 2024
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large 10:31 PM ET, Mon December 13, 2021
https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/13/politics/2024-democrats-replace-biden/index.html
Direct Headline: Democrats Are Solidly Behind Biden. There’s No Consensus About a Plan B.
None of the prospects would dare openly indicate interest, for fear of offending both a president who, White House officials say, has made it clear to them that he plans to run for re-election and a history-making vice president who could be his heir apparent. No president since Lyndon Johnson in 1968 has opted not to run for re-election.

If Biden, whom will turn 82 years old two weeks after the 2024 election, does not run, then CNN suggested the following 11 candidates could have strong interest and/or garner widespread Party support for 2024 POTUS:
Vice President Kamala Harris

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg
https://ballotpedia.org/Pete_Buttigieg
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
https://ballotpedia.org/Elizabeth_Warren
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
https://ballotpedia.org/Amy_Klobuchar
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D)
https://ballotpedia.org/Roy_Cooper
Former Mayor of New Orleans Mitch Landrieu (D)
https://ballotpedia.org/Mitch_Landrieu
Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo
https://ballotpedia.org/Gina_Raimondo
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D)
https://ballotpedia.org/Gretchen_Whitmer
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D)

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D)

Former member of the Georgia House of Representatives Stacey Abrams (D)

CNN releases an article about possible replacement candidates for the 2024 DNC ticket if something should happen to Biden in terms of running for reelection. (NY Times plays the middle showing the activist MSM is going to split along practical quid pro quo relationships to Biden and Harris respectively)
While there are lots of articles out there regarding this topic, it's interesting that Chris Cillizza ( Joe Average American archetype, light association with the sports world so that's some context ) sends out a rubber duck to test for sharks. It means Jaime Harrison of DNC HQ wants to know where moderates will stand with the "deep sleeper" candidates. He knows the lay of the land and projections already with Harris, Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar and Whitmer.
Gretchen Whitmer is on this list out of respect for her Vice Chair status at DNC HQ. Pritzker getting his name bandied about is likely a favor from Chris Korge who runs finance for the DNC ( read that as open money laundering and juggling bags of dark money)
But this is a chance for everyone to discuss the lesser brand name candidates ( think establishment Democrats from the Kirkland Signature, Great Value and Market Pantry range of appeal ) Ballotpedia links are associated with each candidate for background.
I think it's worth an exploratory dive to look at RB6 deep league types like Roy Cooper, Mitch Landrieu, Gina Riamondo and Phil Murphy. I'll weigh in later after giving this some time to simmer with the masses.
Discuss.
