Welcome to Fox News\u2019 Politics newsletter with the latest political news from Washington D.C. and updates from the\u00a02024 campaign trail.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What’s Happening?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Ex-Hunter Biden associate testifies to House panel<\/strong><\/p>\n

– House prepares to vote on Biden border chief impeachment<\/strong><\/p>\n

– New York’s 3rd district voting on a replacement for ex-Rep George Santos<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats have overwhelmingly backed President Biden’s 2024 re-election. But the damaging report released last week by Special Counsel Robert Hur has breathed new life into the belief that the party will ultimately replace him<\/a> as nominee ahead of the 2024 general election.<\/p>\n

Here are five of the top names being mentioned as a potential replacement for Biden should he decide \u2014 or is pressured \u2014 not to run for a second term:<\/p>\n

1. California Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrat strategists and members of the media continually mention him as a future presidential hopeful, but that future could come sooner rather than later should Biden’s plans change.<\/p>\n

2. Vice President Harris<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harris’ presidential ambitions have been known since her first unsuccessful run for the White House in 2020, when she failed to gain support over her Democrat primary opponents, including Biden. Despite her low approval rating and frequent gaffes as vice president, she continues to insist<\/a> she’s “ready to serve” as commander in chief, if necessary.<\/p>\n

3. Former first lady Michelle Obama<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obama has been one of the more surprising names floated as a potential replacement for Biden, considering her lack of political experience. But she remains popular to Democrats, and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy keeps floating the possibility.<\/p>\n

4. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite declining a run for the White House<\/a>, Whitmer appeared to leave the door open for a future presidential run after her convincing re-election win during the 2022 midterm elections, a year that was expected to be a difficult one for Democrats.<\/p>\n

5. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beshear has been seen as a rising star within the party given his status as one of the most popular governors in the country, despite being a Democrat leading a red state. That status grew following a big re-election win last year<\/a> over then-Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who was considered a rising GOP star.<\/p>\n
