The Democratic Dilemma: Biden's 2024 Run Leaves Party Without Backup Plan

The Democratic Party does not have a backup plan in case President Joe Biden decides not to run for re-election in 2024, which could lead to a messy intraparty battle. Despite concerns about his age and weak poll numbers, Biden has remained committed to seeking a second term. Even if more Democratic candidates were to enter the race now, it would be unclear how they could secure a place on the primary ballot in critical states. While Biden's running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, would benefit from their joint campaign infrastructure if she ran in his absence, other Democrats would likely join the race as well.

New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins is leading a trade delegation to China, and officials have sent an empty backup plane to ensure he doesn't get stranded due to the aging Boeing 757, nicknamed Betty, that is prone to breakdowns. The twin Royal New Zealand Air Force planes that transport the prime minister are about 30 years old and are due to be replaced by 2030. Acting Prime Minister Carmel Sepuloni acknowledged the situation wasn't ideal and said there's a plan in place to update the kit.

"Preparing for the Worst: Backup Plans Urged as Student Loan Forgiveness Hangs in the Balance"

Liberal lawmakers are urging the Biden administration to prepare a backup plan to cancel student debt, as the Supreme Court could soon strike down the White House’s program for forgiving the debts of tens of millions of American borrowers. Reps. Ro Khanna, Ayanna Pressley, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have privately made similar remarks to administration officials. Biden’s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in debt per borrower sparked a political firestorm when it was announced last August, with Republicans saying it would help affluent college graduates who don’t need the assistance.

A's considering backup stadium sites in Las Vegas amid uncertainty.

The Oakland Athletics are reportedly exploring backup plans for a new stadium site in Las Vegas, including the Rio Hotel & Casino and the Tropicana Las Vegas, due to concerns about the cost of their first choice. The team needs a tax bill to pass in the Nevada Legislature by June 5 to receive $500 million in tax credits for the $1.5 billion stadium project, but the A's are reportedly the obstacle in negotiations. If a deal isn't reached in time, an emergency session may be called.
