I know Joe Manchin is now an independent, but he's been suggesting reregistering as a Democrat now that Biden has dropped out. And I don't know about "centre-right," but many of the "former Democrats turned cautious Trump supporters" in my life were hoping Biden would drop out in favor of Josh Shapiro. I mean they just need someone who will appeal to the swing states and the moderate/right-wing wing of the party that they were losing to Trump due to Biden's decline and incompetence. I mean when New York is in danger of becoming a battleground state, you know you're in trouble. Even the Klobberer would be an okay choice imo. Kamala is a California liberal (from the Bay area no less) who was chosen in 2020 to appeal to progressives. She can probably ensure the solidly blue states stay blue, which Biden was in danger of losing, but I think they'd do better to appeal to the center this time around.
