President Biden is reportedly considering whether Vice President Kamala Harris could defeat former President Trump in the 2024 election, as per a recent report from a reputable news outlet. Despite Biden and his team publicly affirming his intention to remain in the race, there are indications that the 81-year-old is now contemplating Harris's potential to win. Various polls suggest that Harris could match or even surpass Biden's performance against Trump, leading to calls from Democrats for Biden to step aside.
According to a former aide of Harris, there is a belief that the vice president is currently auditioning for the role, and supporting her efforts could benefit Biden, regardless of whether he decides to withdraw from the race. Harris is seen as the most viable candidate to replace Biden, largely due to her presumed access to the significant funds amassed by the Biden-Harris campaign. Any other contender would face challenges in accessing the tens of millions of dollars donated throughout the campaign.
