37. We need new blood going forward.

The goal currently is to restore normalcy to the Whitehouse. Biden is thought to be a sure thing to do that by many, including myself, notwithstanding his age. He is a known commodity, whose more centrist policies are favored by most of the Party (check the primary results) and are at least tolerable to independent voters and some never-Trump Republicans. This is the coalition necessary to guarantee the defeat of Trump. I can see Biden loading his Cabinet from the new generation of Democrats and then standing aside in 2024 so they can lead the party and compete for the Presidency. Going forward, we need new and more youthful (relatively) Democratic leadership and younger candidates, and not candidates in their 70s and 80s.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
