What a mess if in 2024 the nominees are Biden and Trump. Neither is the actual preference of his party but both could end up getting the nod.
Yesterday The New Yorker writes the following:
The election of 2024 might come down to exactly the same choice as the election of 2020: Biden versus Trump. The American public appears to dread a rematch between its two oldest Presidents, and both of them are viewed unfavorably by a majority of the public. In one survey this fall, just six per cent of voters wanted another Biden-Trump face-off. But that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. It might even be one of the likeliest scenarios.
To be clear, author Susan Glasser goes on to indicate that what looks likely at this point has every chance of not happening. After all, in 2016 the frontrunners for the Republican nomination all faded away while Trump came from behind.
My perception: Republicans have a great "bench" of other people I wouldn't mind seeing as president. I'd list Mike Pompeo, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Tom Cotton, for starters. I can't come up with a similar list for Democrats although some might argue for Gavin Newsom.
