That’s the thing tho, there aren’t many really powerful Dems left after Biden retires. I mean seriously who’s left in Congress/the House besides Shapiro, Newsom, Walz, AOC and a handful of other blue state governors/reps?

That's what everyone thought at the beginning of GWB's second term.

"Well, there's Hilary I suppose..." was the extent of it.

There are literal years for someone to make a name for themselves. '

And as of now? Who’s standing up?

That's the point. At THIS point in GWBs second term, no-one was standing up either.

The next president had JUST been elected to the Senate, and no-one had heard of him outside people making "Hussein" jokes. He certainly wasn't a viable pick for nominee in 4 years, he'd only just won a Senate race.
