According to the study, 27% of Democrats chose “none of the above,” while 6% are “unsure” about who should succeed Biden.
Rumors of Michelle Obama joining the ballot have circulated, owing to concerns about Biden’s age and cognitive ability. However, the former first lady has consistently declared her intention to stay out of politics. The US elections in 2024 are scheduled for November 5. Biden and Trump are poised to face off again in the 2024 presidential race. Currently, Biden is behind Donald Trump in national polls.
