Biden will be 81 in 2024 and his brain is already leaking out of his ears. There's a good chance he doesn't run again.
If he bites it or steps down before then, we'll get President Harris running as an incumbent and -- no matter how bad the situation -- it's pretty damn difficult to primary an incumbent president. Running in an open primary against the outgoing VP is not as difficult.
You can, it usually just makes you a pariah in your own party and I don't know if a primary challenger has ever won against an incumbent president. But there was a Republican primary this year, for instance; the incumbent doesn't just automatically get the nomination.

no but what does it even mean to "primary" her?
She'd literally be president. You can't primary the president, they're the president.
