      Well I would argue that the DNC did stop Bernie with the desire to get Hillary on the ballot. But getting back to the question; It’s a long shot because of the naturalized citizen angle, but Cenk Uygur (known from the TYT podcasts) perhaps would be an interesting choice. A Turkish-born American though, sadly this will disqualify him with the current electoral rules, but at least he’s educated, and not over 80, and I know he’s fighting to stay in the run despite these hurdles.

      The Florida Democratic Party’s executive committee voted to cancel their primary at the end of October 2023 and declare Biden the winner

      The Tennessee Democratic Party decided to list only Biden as a ballot option for its primary after a November 11 meeting

      The North Carolina Democratic Party acknowledged receiving requests for ballot access from Phillips and other candidates, but chose to only include Biden for its primary

      The Democratic Party of Wisconsin left Phillips off the ballot; he appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on January 26, 2024. The court unanimously ruled on February 2 that Phillips should be included on the ballot.
