Kamala Harris
The most frequently mentioned name of a potential replacement for Joe Biden is his Vice President Kamala Harris.
The politician has the most experience with presidential duties out of other frequently recurring names. In addition, if the nomination fell to her, she could directly operate with the monetary contributions that the sponsors sent to the Biden campaign. They signed a contract where, in addition to the current head of the White House, the name of the vice president was also mentioned, Bloomberg explains. No other candidate would be able to use the 200 million dollars (4.6 billion crowns) obtained and would have to seek support from the beginning.
It also speaks for Harris that she can attract new voters, The Washington Post talks specifically about black voters, women and young people. Harris has also long supported abortion rights. However, her low popularity among the public speaks against her possible candidacy.
