Following President Biden's poor performance in the first televised debate, speculations on his potential replacements within the Democratic Party for the upcoming November presidential election include Vice President Harris, California Governor Newsom, and former First Lady Michelle Obama. However, it is noted that replacing Biden amidst the chaos could be detrimental, especially since he has already passed the Democratic primary tests and is determined to continue his candidacy. Despite talks of possible replacements, Biden's strong base in the primaries makes it challenging for any candidate to take over his position without his voluntary withdrawal or a decision post the Democratic National Convention in August. Michelle Obama's high popularity has been highlighted, but she continues to deny any interest in running for president. Polls also suggest she could potentially perform well against Trump. However, the primary election system and party obligations make it difficult for strong figures or media pressure to replace Biden without his consent.
