I'm talking about the party leadership and donors, who are largely who determines the direction the party takes. Obviously they don't have total control, but without their backing, a candidate has basically no chance of succeeding, so they have the ability to largely dictate who does or doesn't run.

And it's definitely on others who wouldn't straight up run for office and challenge Biden. This immunity of incumbency ruse will end someday. Hopefully today. Great respect for Dean Phillips who is seemingly the only one who wants to break down this dumb wall.

No, it would be needlessly messy to have Presidential incumbents being constantly challenged by candidates from their own party when they're going for re-election. This was an extraordinary situation that warranted all the drama; it just should have been handled a year or two ago and more quietly. Then they could have had an open primary to determine the candidate.
