In the recent release of the Democrats’ ’top 10’ list for 2024 presidential candidate, there is not one individual who is presidential material (“The pathetic ’top 10’ slate of Democrats for 2024,” Web, April 20).

The jokers on this list include Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Gavin Newsom, Ellizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg and — the biggest joke of all — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

But the Democrats do indeed have one individual who features presidential muster, though he is not included on their little list: Joe Manchin of West Virginia.



Then again, as Democrats continue to reject Mr. Manchin, at least there’s always Hillary.
