Kamala Harris Leads Major Biden Alternatives In Polls—Here’s How The President’s Top Replacements Are Polling

President Joe Biden’s shaky debate performance last week has provoked calls for the 81-year-old to drop his reelection bid over concerns about his mental acuity, leading to several names being floated as potential replacements who would take on former President Donald Trump in November.

Vice President Kamala Harris (45%) trails Trump (47%) by two points in a CNN/SRRS poll—a smaller deficit compared to Biden’s six-point shortfall behind Trump in the same poll.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (42%), who has starkly pushed against the idea of replacing Biden, according to Politico, is five points behind Trump (47%) in the poll.
