"Unlikelihood of Replacing Biden with Newsom or a 'Mythical Perfect Democrat'"

Despite renewed anxiety over President Biden's age, it is unlikely that he will be replaced by California Governor Gavin Newsom or another Democrat in the 2024 presidential election. Biden's control of the party, missed primary deadlines, and the unlikelihood of consensus in an open convention make his replacement nearly impossible. Additionally, Newsom remains committed to supporting Biden, and potential alternatives like Vice President Kamala Harris face their own challenges. Furthermore, Newsom's association with California liberalism could pose a hurdle in a national election.
