Recently a survey by national election tracker of the US— Rasmussen Reports polls showed recommendations from most Democrats for replacement of Biden as the President. While former Republican president Donald Trump is also contesting to win a second term, the polls showed that Biden also faces competition from Vice President Kamala Harris.

Of the total votes in the Rasmussen Reports polls, around 48 per cent of Democrats shared their approval for the party to find another candidate to replace Joe Biden before November, while 38 per cent Democrats disapproved for the same.

In the latest development, incumbent President Biden and former president Trump won their respective parties’ Michigan's presidential primaries on Tuesday. The Democrat and Republican faces continue marching toward a likely rematch in the November 2024 race for the White House.

Among the 4-5 potential presidential candidates, Michelle Obama secured 20 per cent votes in the poll to replace Biden. The other contenders include California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Vice President Kamala Harris.

While 12 per cent people involved in the poll voted for a rematch between Hillary Clinton and Trump, another 15 per cent voted for Harris, NDTV reported.

Meanwhile, Michelle Obama had said in January that, "The fact that people think that government-'eh,, does it really even do anything?' - and I'm like, 'Oh my God, does government do everything for us, and we cannot take this democracy for granted.' And I worry sometimes that we do. Those are the things that keep me up."

A few misinterpretations during the speeches delivered by Biden recently, due to his age-relate memory have raised concerns among the Democrats, while for Republicans it is now turning out to be the Trump card.
