THINK TANK: CONSULTANT
So perhaps your thinking someone like Andy Beshear, the popular democrat governor from a majority republican state of Kentucky is the way to go for the top of the ticket?The next Democrat leader should be more centrist than left, either left leaning centrist or centrist leaning left (those two are different, and I will explain later)
The issue with Biden and Harris is they are too left leaning, more or less touching into Progressive spectrum, most of their policy are social engineering, while there are some centrist financial policy are implemented, but not enough. The biggest one is the build back better bill, which actually more toward infrastructure not toward the economy.
The economy by itself was not bad during the 4 years of Democratic Presidency, but the living standard is high, and those issue were never addressed. There are silent policy enacted to kerb the inflation, but it failed at the end of the term with groceries price hike up due to various factor. Which was repeatedly attacked by Trump campaign and Biden/Harris just have no answer.
The next guy/girl will need to set a 5 points or 7 points specifically targeting not Trump but the mess he is going to make, by mid-term and beyond. Don't try to appease people instead of targeting problem and offering solution meanwhile as I discussed with @FuturePAF the leader need to stand up in front of American Public and push back on Trump's policy, if there are no visible push back, it would seems the Dem is okay with Trump trashing the country.
There are going to be a lot of disgruntle American in a year or so, it would be the dems job to wrangle them into their camp. Sadly, to say, this "I hate the last administration, so I voted the different guy this time" is going to continue.
As for Trump's honeymoon, I don't think he ever got one, he was below +7 the entire time since Jan 21. According to the economist they are now -4

Btw, what would consider him, a leftist leaning center or a centrist leaning left?
