Democrats and pundits float possible replacements for Biden

Hard to sugarcoat it. No one can be happy with President Biden's performance and anyone who is saying that he did a good job is is friggin delusional. This is going to be solely up to President Biden because he owns the delegates and he will decide whether he will or won't. Will not step down. President Biden back on the campaign trail in New York and New Jersey today showing no signs of stepping aside him. It calls him some Democrats and editorial pundits to do just that. So who could potentially step in if he steps out? Regina coma live in Los Angeles with a look at the potential replacements if it gets to that. Hey, Christina. Hi, Erica. That's right. After President Biden's rough debate performance Thursday night, many media outlets and political analysts said it is time for Biden to step aside. And As for his possible replacement, there's several names that have been floated around a lot, including California Governor Gavin Newsom. Even though Republicans can easily slam him over the high taxes, chronic crime and homelessness in this state, this Democratic governor does not shy away from the cameras or making national headlines. Some political analysts believe he's been running a shadow campaign. He has been making presidential moves for months now, visiting Israel shortly after Hamas is October 7th attack and making a trip to China to discuss climate initiatives. He ran abortion rights ads in Republican controlled states. And he went head to head with former GOP presidential contender Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in a debate moderated by Sean Hannity right here on Fox last year. Newsom was at the presidential debate on Thursday. After Biden's rough performance, he was asked about replacing the president. Here is his response. I don't understand. If you're asked, would you be willing to take that ticket? I'm not even starting to take on Donald Trump. Never turn my back on. Would you urge the president to reconsider a movie? Absolutely not. Never turn my back. I don't know. That's a personal point of view. I do not have one Democrat that would do that. Another Democrat whose name keeps getting floated for a presidential contender is Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. She leads a swing state that is critical for Democrats to win the second term. Governor also helped flip both chambers of the state legislature blue with her fight for abortion rights, a key issue among Democrats this election season. And we cannot go without mentioning former first lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris. Both women are very popular among Democrats, The Washington, the Post including them in a list of potential Biden replacements, in addition to Democrat Josh Shapiro, who won a solid victory for governorship in 2022 in Pennsylvania, a purple state which is critical for the Democrats hopes of winning the White House this November. Eric, I will. Chelsea. All right, Christina, thank you.
