I'm skeptical that Biden will still be in the race a year from now.

If RFK Jr starts gaining traction against him, we should watch for a more popular candidate like Gavin Newsom to jump in. That was the scenario in 1968 after President Lyndon B. Johnson was nearly defeated by Gene McCarthy in the New Hampshire Primary on March 12. RFK Sr responded by announcing his candidacy for president on March 16. That was followed by Johnson dropping out on March 31, the assassination of RFK Sr on June 6, Vice President Hubert Humphrey* winning the Democratic nomination, and the election of President Richard Nixon in November.

*As a young teenager, I once got to shake hands with VP Humphrey at a non-political event in the Minneapolis Radisson Hotel.

Spoiler alert:

On Monday RFK Jr withdrew as a candidate for the 2024 Democratic nomination, and will now run for president as an independent. So who will he hurt more, the Democrats or the Republicans? Time will tell.
