    There are a number of them being floated right now. If Biden had dropped out a year ago, they would’ve had a traditional competition in the primary. Then we would’ve all gotten complacent and assumed we had it made, and we’d end up in 2016 again.

    But to directly answer your question, the names I see being floated the most are CA gov Newsom, MI gov Whitmer, KY gov Beshear, and PA gov Shapiro. And yes, switching to any of them would be difficult and risky.

      Buttigieg is also brought up pretty frequently and while I’m not a huge fan of him he seems to poll better than Harris. Personally I’d prefer a climate focused candidate like Whitehouse but I know it’s a hard sell to the establishment.
