According to reports, Kamala Harris is Joe Biden’s first choice to succeed him if he steps down. Seven senior sources with knowledge of ongoing discussions at the Biden campaign.

The White House, and the Democratic National Committee rank Vice President Kamala Harris as the front-runner to succeed U.S. President Joe Biden should he decide not to seek reelection.

A surge of anxiety inside the Democratic party over worries that Biden would not be well enough to serve a second term resulted from his clumsy, occasionally confusing.

And heavily criticized first-debate performance against Republican competitor Donald Trump last week. It also sparked calls for key aides to step down.

Other prominent Democrats who have suggested Biden substitutes include Democratic governors and well-liked cabinet members including California’s Gavin Newsom, Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer, and Pennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro.

However, these unnamed insiders claimed that trying to avoid Harris would be extremely impossible and wishful thinking.

According to the sources, Harris, 59, would inherit the campaign infrastructure and all funds raised by the Biden campaign if she were selected as the party’s nominee.

According to the sources, she also has the best name recognition among all the contenders and the best polling among Democrats who might be given serious consideration as a candidate.

Harris trailed Trump by one percentage point, 42% to 43%, in a USA News/Ipsos survey released on Tuesday. This difference was well within the poll’s 3.5 percentage point margin of error, and Harris’ performance was statistically comparable to Biden’s.

They added that she has previously passed muster for national office and has withstood harsh criticism from Republicans. Additionally, U.S. Representative Jim Clyburn—who played a crucial role in Biden’s victory in 2020—told MSNBC that he would back Harris as the Democratic nominee in the event if Biden resigned.
