I was thinking the same thing about the Presidency. I'm not saying he is in stepping-stone mode, but we have a very apparent lack of recognized leadership in the Party right now. We are not seeing any coalescing around any leadership at a legislative, policy, tactical or moral level. We have some people who are speaking out in a way that makes them apparent contenders for the POTUS nomination. That would be Newsom, Pritzker as established faces. Buttigieg and Beshear as young up-comers. Harris has to be included based nthe term she already served. I'm sure there are others who would like to be considered, but there is no clear momentus in any of that.

Ossoff could actually be a POTUS contender if he out-performs in the Senate race. I do think America is pretty fed up with the current generation of both parties, so it might be an advantage to be a relative newcomer.

We are getting royally fucked by AIPAC and have been for well over a generation. It would take a person like Ossoff (who I believe is closer to the views of most American Jews than is AIPAPC) to stand up to them. It was have to be a variation of the "America First" narrative with the subtle twist that American Jews are safer and better served by not having our government and middle east policy run by Netanyahu.
