– Ex-Hunter Biden associate testifies to House panel
– House prepares to vote on Biden border chief impeachment
– New York’s 3rd district voting on a replacement for ex-Rep George Santos
Democrats have overwhelmingly backed President Biden’s 2024 re-election. But the damaging report released last week by Special Counsel Robert Hur has breathed new life into the belief that the party will ultimately replace him as nominee ahead of the 2024 general election.
Here are five of the top names being mentioned as a potential replacement for Biden should he decide — or is pressured — not to run for a second term:
1. California Gov. Gavin Newsom
Democrat strategists and members of the media continually mention him as a future presidential hopeful, but that future could come sooner rather than later should Biden’s plans change.
2. Vice President Harris
Harris’ presidential ambitions have been known since her first unsuccessful run for the White House in 2020, when she failed to gain support over her Democrat primary opponents, including Biden. Despite her low approval rating and frequent gaffes as vice president, she continues to insist she’s “ready to serve” as commander in chief, if necessary.
3. Former first lady Michelle Obama
Obama has been one of the more surprising names floated as a potential replacement for Biden, considering her lack of political experience. But she remains popular to Democrats, and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy keeps floating the possibility.
4. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
Despite declining a run for the White House, Whitmer appeared to leave the door open for a future presidential run after her convincing re-election win during the 2022 midterm elections, a year that was expected to be a difficult one for Democrats.
5. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear
Beshear has been seen as a rising star within the party given his status as one of the most popular governors in the country, despite being a Democrat leading a red state. That status grew following a big re-election win last year over then-Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who was considered a rising GOP star.
