It's bizarre no one else form the party is willing to step up.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson so far. Apparently Joe Manchin is considering it.

The reason you haven't heard of it is the reason running against your own party's encumbent President is historically a bad idea.

Can Chat GPT run? Is it legally possible? Like Kasporov vs deep blue.

Those parties are literally run like a Hollywood studio.

"Let's see if we can get a Biden sequel going in, if not, maybe we can use other existing IP, like a Kennedy. What other things are popular now? Women! Oof, Hillary in 2016, though, that underperformed at the box office..."

No. Must be a legally born US citizen, have been a citizen for at least 14 years meaning one could leave the country for a while and at least age 35. A president could of course use LLM's as resources if they felt it appropriate.

No, computer software, rocks, old shoes, and other things that aren’t people cannot run for the Presidency.

They decided to drop debates too. Makes sense, there's no point to that.

I mean, you're not wrong, but the sitting President always runs for a second term when feasible (barring exceptions I cant think of off the top of my head at the moment.) That the best position of strength to be in for an encumbent party, otherwise you risk splitting the vote on behalf of the other side.

Also, the narrative that Hillary Clinton somehow failed spectacularly is a retrofiction. She got millions more votes than Trump, it just didn't actually matter because she didn't campaign well enough in the correct states.
