00:00 Recent polls indicate that nearly half of the Democrats, approximately 48 percent, are
00:07 in favor of having a different candidate instead of Joe Biden for the upcoming 2024 elections.
00:14 Among these Democrats, a significant portion of 20 percent expressed a preference of former
00:19 First Lady Michelle Obama to challenge Donald Trump.
00:22 The Rasmussen report indicates highlights a growing sentiment within the Democratic
00:26 Party that seeks an alternative to Biden for the November elections.
00:31 Around 48 percent of the voters surveyed indicated their approval to Democrats if they select
00:35 a new candidate to replace Biden before the election, while 38 percent expressed disapproval
00:40 of such a move.
00:43 Despite the desire for change within the party, only 33 percent of the Democrats believe that
00:47 shakeup in the ballot is likely to occur.
00:49 Furthermore, there is no clear consensus among the voters regarding who should replace Biden
00:54 if he decides not to seek the election.
00:57 Michelle Obama emerges as the top choice among potential substitutes for Biden, garnering
01:01 20 percent support in the polls.
01:04 Other contenders mentioned include Vice President Kamala Harris, former Vice Secretary of State
01:09 Hillary Clinton, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
01:14 However, the most popular among the respondents was the "none of the above" chosen by 27 percent
01:18 of the Democrats.
01:19 Senator Ted Cruz of Texas previously suggested that the possibility of Michelle Obama becoming
01:24 the Democrat nominee, particularly at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago,
01:28 is most likely the former lady's first hometown.
01:32 Despite the speculation, Michelle Obama has consistently stated her intention to remain
01:36 a political.
01:37 Meanwhile, Biden faces challenges in polls across key battleground states, trailing behind
01:41 former President Donald Trump with a large margin.
01:44 However, Biden has not indicated any plan to step aside and allow another Democrat to
01:48 run in his place, leaving the party's nomination for the 2024 election uncertain.
01:53 The upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago may provide further insight into
01:57 the party's decision regarding its nominee.
