I don't think that Sununu has the level of ambition to run for President though I think that he would do well at it. He seems to want a life and he can do that as Governor; much harder as President or Vice-President.

The scenario may be a huge battle between Trump and Desantis for 2024 which leaves the Republican party in shambles, basically deeply divided between moderates and MAGA. I think that Biden would run in this environment to prevent Trump from winning. I think that he won't run if Trump doesn't run. The problem for the Democrats is that they don't have a bench. They have a year to work on one though.

Gawd dammit! Why does it seem like our future choices are getting worse by the year?

There's a huge hit to personal and family life in running for the highest office. You have to have enough ambition to overcome counting the costs to you and your family. The vast majority of people wouldn't want to do this.
