July 25 , 2022 - While President Joe Biden has said that he plans to run for a second term , if he doesn't there are various Democrats who would explore a White House run including New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy. First elected Governor in  2017 and re-elected in 2021 , Murphy brings a impressive resume to any potential presidential bid.

From  1982 to 2006 , Murphy , age 65 ,  worked at Goldman Sachs where he quickly rose to upper management positions before retiring as Senior Director. Murphy then became interested in politics and served as National Finance Chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2006 to 2009.

From 2009 to 2013 , Murphy acquired foreign policy experience when he served as the United States Ambassador to Germany under President Barack Obama. Following his term as Ambassador , Murphy returned to New Jersey to begin exploring an entry into electoral politics. In March of  2016 Murphy became the first candidate to enter the race for the Democratic Party nomination for New Jersey Governor which he would win in June of 2017. In November of 2021 , Murphy became the first Democratic New Jersey Governor re-elected in 44 years. As New Jersey Governor's are limited to two terms , Murphy will conclude is his time in office in January of 2025.

Should Biden not run in 2024 , Murphy certainly could be one of the potential candidates.
