The Hill-HarrisX survey has revealed that Vice President Kamala Harris and former first lady Michelle Obama are the leading Democratic presidential candidates for the 2024 presidential run if President Biden decides not to run. While Harris received 13 percent of the vote, Obama got the second position with 10 percent. 

Other likely candidates, who were included in the poll, who might run in 2024 were Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and former 2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang. All of them got 5 percent or less in support from 939 registered voters between November 18-19.

Kamala Harris's old tweet defending Jussie Smollett resurfaces as trolls mock Veep

Around 36 percent of participants said they were “unsure” about whom to support while 13 percent said their favorite was not among the names included in the list. This comes after White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that Biden plans to run again for his second term as the president. But his rating has dipped in recent months because of the effects of inflation as well as the supply chain crisis. His old age is also a major worry for many. As per a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, “Only 40 percent of voters surveyed agreed with the statement that Biden ‘is in good health,’ while 50 percent disagreed. That 10-percentage-point gap — outside the poll’s margin of error — represents a massive 29-point shift since October 2020, when Morning Consult last surveyed the question and found voters believed Biden was in good health by a 19-point margin.”

Meanwhile, several people reacted to the recent poll on the internet. Lavern Spicer, Republican Candidate for #FL24, tweeted: “LOL if Democrats top picks for 2024 are Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama, they must be smoking what Hunter uses.” The second one wrote, “Both are soooo not qualified nor smart enough.” 

Another person commented, “A crowd of just over two hundred assemble to hear Barak Obama endorse McCauliffe in VA. Donald J. Trump  amassed a crowd of 74,000.” Another one noted, “Amazing how Harris couldn't even get to the starting gate for the 2020 presidential run! She's done nothing since she was elected EXCEPT refuse to take on assignments assigned to her! She's a TOP candidate? Do tell?,” while one more tweet quipped, “What is this……joke of the day????” One person asked, “Surely the democrats can't be that desperate, to want to pick VP Harris + Michelle Obama as their top choice for 2024 (BUT they won't say which is their Number 1 and which is Number 2),” while another said, “Lol well slow joe will run again just because he don’t care. The question is will the Hillary suicide squad pay him a visit. Good job libs keep bringing these worthless choices to the party."
