https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4750468-joe-biden-kamala-harris-gavin-newsom-andy-beshear-gretchen-whitmer/President Biden’s campaign is intensely trying to quell speculation that he may drop out of the 2024 race following his lackluster debate performance last week.
Most top Democrats have voiced support for Biden continuing in the race, while members of his family, including first lady Jill Biden, have declared they also want him to remain a candidate, casting doubt on the potential for replacing Biden.
But if Biden were to step aside, several prominent Democrats could be waiting in the wings as possible successors.
Here are the top possible Biden replacements:
Kamala Harris
Gavin Newsom
Gretchen Whitmer
Pete Buttigieg
Josh Shapiro
JB Pritzker
Andy Beshear
Shapiro is the best of the lot, being a left-of-center moderate, but has no name recognition outside of Pennsylvania. He's smart enough to know that the Democrats are screwed in 2024. So he'll finish his first term, get re-elected, and then run in 2028.
