    No, she didn't have the clout to run this time she got the nomination because of the timing of Biden's decline finally becoming impossible to deny any more after the primaries but before the convention.

    There was no clout to begin with. They bought a PR cycle for her that expired on sept. 1st.

    No they'll continue their right wing march and push Newsom. Or maybe they'll grab some "moderate" Republican from Ohio and run their first obviously blue dog

    She didn't even have clout to run in 2024. Biden decided he'd run even though he promised not to (Don't um actually me as if it matters he personally didn't say it when his whole campaign was out there talking about it)

      She'll either be a discount Hillary or trotted out as an argument for why [insert slightly less right-wing candidate who is a woman or a POC or a POC woman] is unelectable and therefore can't be the dem candidate in whatever year it is we'll see a new candidate pull a "Bernie '16/'20"

    That would be funny, but no. She's going to go on a book circuit with Hillary.

    Has anyone else ever run a third time after being unsuccessful twice? The thing about the DNC is they have a production line of anonymous tank-raised ghouls, they learned their lesson about hitching their hopes to one egg after Clinton I think

      I think Nixon ran several times before getting elected. He was VP to Eisenhower.

        He won (as VP to Eisenhower) in '52 and '56, lost the election to JFK in '60, lost his gubernatorial race in '62, lost the primary in '64 to Barry Goldwater, then he won in '68 and '72.

      No they didn't, they learned nothing.

    I don't think she will, I feel like she only has clout now because the liberals needed to push her as a valid option over Biden (and was already his VP). Even if she does win, I have a feeling she'll only get a single term before the Conservatives can find someone to beat her.
