The CNN poll also asked voters about potential replacements for Biden. Harris fared the best, trailing Trump by only two points, 47 percent to 45 percent, within the margin of error.
Several other prominent Democrats outperformed Biden in polling, including Govs. Gavin Newsom (Calif.) and Gretchen Whitmer (Mich.), as well as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The Biden campaign has quickly shut down any notion that the president would leave the 2024 race.
The choice doesn’t have to be between the narcissist and the potato.
In about 6 weeks, the Democratic National Convention will be held in Chicago. With a democratic incumbent, that’s a boring little party that the entire nation ignores. But, if Biden drops out of the race in about 5 weeks, that convention turns into a media circus, and the entire base has a fresh new candidate winning the news cycles.
But that’s what we’re left with. I’ll vote for whoever is on the ticket, but there’s literally 0.01% chance someone else gets the nomination.
